In this rant, we're going to take a closer look at some of the most common culinary pretenses and fallacies. We'll examine the over-reliance on blood, bones, and blisters, and we'll explore the dangers of blindly following food trends.

The Cult of Blood

In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards using blood in cooking. From steak tartare to blood oranges, chefs are experimenting with this once-taboo ingredient. While there is nothing inherently wrong with using blood, it's important to do so with care.

Blood is a rich source of iron, but it can also be a breeding ground for bacteria. If not handled properly, blood can cause food poisoning. Additionally, the taste of blood can be very strong and overpowering, so it's important to use it in moderation.

The Tyranny of Bones

Another culinary trend that has gained popularity in recent years is the use of bones. From bone marrow to roasted chicken carcasses, chefs are finding new and creative ways to use this once-discarded ingredient. While bones can add flavor and depth to a dish, they can also be a nuisance to eat.

Bones can be sharp and splintery, and they can easily break your teeth. Additionally, bones can be difficult to digest, and they can cause stomach upset. If you're going to use bones in your cooking, be sure to do so with caution.

The Blistering Fad

Blisters are another culinary trend that has become increasingly popular in recent years. From blackened pizzas to grilled octopus, chefs are using blisters to add a charred, smoky flavor to their dishes. While blisters can add depth to a dish, they can also be done poorly.

If blisters are cooked too long, they can become tough and chewy. Additionally, blisters can release harmful chemicals when they are burned. If you're going to use blisters in your cooking, be sure to do so with care.

The Dangers of Following Food Trends

One of the biggest dangers of the culinary world is the tendency to blindly follow food trends. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. In fact, some of the most popular food trends are based on nothing more than hype and marketing.

Before you jump on the latest food trend, take some time to do your research. Make sure you understand what you're eating and why. And most importantly, trust your own taste buds. If you don't like it, don't eat it.

The culinary world is a constantly evolving landscape. New trends are emerging all the time, and it can be difficult to keep up. But it's important to remember that not everything that passes for "fine dining" is worth your time or money.

Before you decide to try a new dish, take some time to do your research. Make sure you understand what you're eating and why. And most importantly, trust your own taste buds. If you don't like it, don't eat it.
