Chances are, you’ll spot at least one photo of mouth-watering food the second you open your Instagram feed. You know, those carefully curated posts filled with dazzling colors of kimchi, home-brewed kombuchas, and vibrant açaí bowls that get your appetite immediately going. But the truth is, these are all trends that have filled our kitchens, plates, and bellies during these past few years. And if there’s one thing we’re sure of, they tend to come and go.

So a few days ago, Redditor AndShesNotEvenPretty felt inspired when she came across old recipes that looked completely unappetizing by today's standards. So the user reached out to members of the 'Cooking' subreddit with a very fine question: "What cooking/food trends will seem revolting in the future?" Foodies immediately jumped to the comment section and shared their sizzling takes about the latest fads that will age so bad, they'll turn sour.

From rainbow-colored meals to dishes decorated with gold, we’ve gone through the thread and hand-picked some of the most interesting responses for every cooking enthusiast to enjoy. So get your aprons ready and continue scrolling to upvote your favorite ones! Do you have any thoughts about what food trends should cease to exist? Be sure to tell us all about them in the comments, we'd love to hear them.

We managed to get in touch with the user who started this whole thread, AndShesNotEvenPretty, who was kind enough to have a little chat with us. When asked whether she expected her post to reach hundreds of people who wasted no time sharing their opinions in the comments, the user said that it was definitely cool. "But let’s not get too precious here. It’s a Reddit post. All it demonstrates is I had a passing thought that other people identified with," she told Bored Panda.

The user came up with the idea to ask this question while scrolling through the 'Old Recipes' subreddit. "It’s amusing to look back on the trends of yesteryear and realize how much our tastes have changed," she wrote in the post. "Gelatin abominations, iceberg lettuce creations, and protein loaf iterations abound, many of which sound unappetizing by today’s standards. It got me to thinking, what do we eat now that the next generations will find unappealing?"

When asked about the reasons she finds it interesting to explore old recipes online, AndShesNotEvenPretty explained she enjoys looking at them because they serve as a social commentary of the era they once were popular in. Moreover, they can tell us a lot about what was valued at the time. "You can see the changes that were taking place in society simply by observing recipes over time."

"As women entered the workforce, for example, recipes became more compact, streamlined, and made use of convenience foods and canned items," the user continued. "During the Great Depression, recipes were barebones and made use of inexpensive staples and often involved innovative uses for cheaper ingredients so they could be used as substitutes for more expensive products like milk and eggs."

However, most of the cooking trends that were popular during that time have faded away. Once we take a look at the TV dinners, gelatin salads, and fish-shaped food that were extremely prevalent just a few decades ago, we undoubtedly scratch our heads from confusion. "I think many of these recipes fall out of favor as we begin to value different things, gain new technology, and as we continue to learn more about the world around us," the user noted several reasons why these dishes no longer seem appetizing to us.

I have absolutely no use for anyone who uses any of these "pod" devices. 39,000 pods are produced every single minute of the day (20.5 billion per year) of those, 29,000 end up in landfills (15.242 BILLION PER YEAR) You couldn't recycle these things if you wanted to, and manufactures have resisted making that a possibility anyway. Testing has shown that the water in the machines doesn't even get hot enough to do a proper extraction, grounds are OFTEN stale, and there are a myriad of ways that are just as easy (if not more so) to get a cup, that offer exponentially better end product.

"Right now, we seem to value abundance (think burgers too large to eat and overloaded milkshakes) so a recipe that makes use of potato peels (as seen in the Depression) seems less alluring," she continued. "And whereas gelatin salads were once de rigueur, we’ve long ago been there and done that. When you can sous vide at home, a molded dessert with canned fruit suspended inside seems markedly less sophisticated."

Plus, the user explained that our ability to easily communicate and travel throughout the world led to our cuisine preferences shifting as well. "Whereas, at one time, American meals were relegated to a meat, a starch and a vegetable, in recent decades we have begun to see the introduction of more worldwide influences, flavor profiles, techniques, and ingredients in our recipes."

The user’s question caused quite a stir on the 'Cooking' subreddit. Food enthusiasts from far and wide gathered together in one place to discuss the trends they wish everyone would just be done with, and they didn’t hold anything back. AndShesNotEvenPretty told us she liked seeing a lot of the responses. "Some of them I hadn’t thought of but totally agreed with — one person said foam looked like someone spit on your plate. I found myself thinking YES! THIS!"

"My favorite comments, and the most encouraging ones, were the people who think meat and factory farming will go the way of the dodo bird. I can only hope that one day my grandkids will be astounded that anyone ate an actual cow." But the user also mentioned that in the meantime, she’ll wait for some of these likely temporary trends to fizzle out.

"Since we are entering a time where everything is getting increasingly expensive, I’m guessing the Bloody Marys with 3 meals worth of garnish or the sandwich hybrids that use entire grilled cheese sandwiches as buns, will be viewed as wasteful and fall out of favor," she added, hoping these recipes and foods will be frowned upon all together.

The Instagram food era. Everything over the top so it looks great on insta but more often than not it's just a mess. It's all about how the food looks not tastes. Can anyone tell me that adding 25-30 toppings to an ice cream cone all made of sugar actually makes the ice cream better? At a certain point you have an ice cream sundae that is all toppings

I've heard stories of instagrammers sending back stacks of pancakes because the cook added syrup, only to have more made without syrup so they can pour it "their way" and take photos. And then leave them. "Influencers" are a boil on the rear end of humanity.

When food is becoming practically unaffordable for so many people, the user believes people will change their attitudes towards meals with immoderate amounts of food. "I think it will be seen as tacky to create recipes for sandwiches stacked so tall with toppings so as to render them inedible, for example."

However, AndShesNotEvenPretty felt it’s important to remind you, dear readers, that it all comes down to choice. "Eat what you like whether it’s 'fashionable' or not. I know my husband will never, ever give up French onion dip and potato chips no matter who says charcuterie trays are the way of the future. And that’s ok!"

It's an incredibly cruel system that inflicts massive amounts of suffering to animals _and_ humans and does great damage to the environment and atmosphere, all for cheap hamburgers. I think we'll look back on it and treat it like other barbaric systems of the past. My hope is that plant based options continue to grow in popularity and people who still choose to eat animal flesh now and then opt for less damaging ones.

I am one of those people that drink Pepsi max because I prefer the taste over normal Pepsi.

Unnecessarily “stuffed” foods (think Tasty videos with burger stuffed bacon wrapped onion rings).

umami is not garlic. Umami is a flavour name referring to the flavour of savory items like cooked meat etc. Generally as a "Spice" it means MSG.

in the future people will just be shocked at the abundance of food choices we had after supply chains crumble. Also, meat.

(Happy to be living at a time when meat is abundant and delicious)

modern farming is to blame. many local and indigenous foods aren't being farmed because there is no money in those crops. so glad i have the knowledge and seeds from my farning ancestors passed down to me. what i grow can't be found in any supermarket.

Calling stock 'bone broth.' They do it so it drives up the price. $6 for a small carton of bone broth?! I can make a big batch of that stuff for the same price!

well most things that you can make are generally cheaper than having the convenience of someone else making it for you.

People Share What Modern Food Trends They Just Can't Stand Cauliflower everything. Rice, pizza crust. Fried cauliflower “Buffalo wings”. Why can’t cauliflower be happy with what it is? It’s a perfectly delicious vegetable. I fear we’re giving it a complex.

Also “zoodles”. Like, leave zucchini be. If you want a no carb dinner that’s your right but why do you have to put zucchini into a Halloween costume of a pasta shape?

Only in the US. At least where I live, it seems weird to layer carbs so much... you either have a pasta (maccaroni) dish OR a bread-based dish. (Which doesn't mean that this weird trend is not spilling over though, thanks Bu**er K**g 👑 )

As climate impacts on meat production and prices, and people turn to non-meat food sources, it seems likely to me that within a generation general meat consumption will be revolting to a growing number of people (who grew up in households that simply couldn't afford to eat meat).

Overnight oats. They're awful — just a soggy, waterlogged waste of perfectly good oats that could’ve been used to make delicious porridge, granola, or cookies.

Hang on!!!! Cheese is great, I love it. BUT you don't need melted cheese on every single thing on your plate unless it's pasta :) Just typing this made my hips expand hahaha.
