Because happily flipping through a paper menu is sooo 2019. Now, it’s "Scan this QR code and hope the Wi-Fi holds up" time!
Is it a pub? Is it fancy? Who knows. But it’s definitely a word that makes you smile and grimace at the same time.
Menus love pretending that cantaloupe and honeydew are a special seasonal surprise. Spoiler: They aren’t.
Every season has its food trends that pop up like wildflowers. Remember when everything had pistachio or tiramisu slapped on it? This year, expect flames, smoke, and things fermented forever. Classic dishes get cool new spins, so menus are always trying to impress.
At home, we’re living the social media food trend life with TikTok inspiring us to make weird but yummy things like fancy Japanese cheesecake or crazy pasta dishes. Some cuisines like Georgian and African flavors are becoming our new fave go-tos too!
Nothing screams pretentious like suddenly calling your green beans 'haricot.' Just say it like a normal person!
Feeling hungry or just ready to laugh at these menus? Vote for the words that make you say, "Really?" and share any other goofy menu terms you’ve spotted. It’s all about having fun while we eat (or at least read)!
