the bland empty nothingness of cupcakes. Awful, no matter how fancy looking.

Ahh hold on how. They do be nice sometimes.

Go get yourself a lolly & cooks chocolate or creme de menthe cupcake and see if you still feel that way.

They strike me as something I could bake myself. They are a sham and a farce and I'll no truck with them. Gaily painted emptiness. bah.

Trust me on this.

I haven't had a creme de menthe one for a while but they are gorgeous.

It's the chocolate base.

We usually follow what London does a couple of years on, so maybe ramen bars?

There's a ramen place on South William Street that's quite good. Think you're right about it being the next trend.

Froyo kinda the same: places only did like a max of three flavours and tried to pass off a bigger choice with toppings. Fuck off, like. There was a place we went to in South Africa called Marcels that sold fruit of the forest froyo in litre tubs for a fiver, that was gorgeous - never saw the likes here.

Yoplait's Fruit of the Forest frozen yoghurt in the 80s was ahead of its time. Amazing stuff.

Never got the fancy burger thing. I had a Bobo's once before a press screening ages ago and it was fairly flavourless. Season your food when you cook it FFS.

Maybe go in and buy one and they might season it for you. I quite liked there but Bunsen beats it hands down. Cooking a good burger rare or medium is just so much nicer.

WRONG! The Cupcake Guy at the side of the Powerscourt centre does fantastic stuff. Nothing beats my sister-in-law's Ferrero Rocher cupcake though. Ferrero Rocher baked into the centre with a Nutella based frosting and topped with another Ferrero Rocher for good measure.

Don't forget the overpriced instagrammable donuts.

Dublin fads I can think of in the last 15 years:
Paninis
Bagels
Bubble Tea
Burritos
Ostentatious Milkshakes
Cupcakes
Pretentious coffee places
Better burger era
FroYo (never really caught on)
More pretentious coffee places
Better sandwich era
Coffee shop explosion (James Joyce: "a good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub Starbucks".
Pretentious Ottolenghi salad places. KEENWA. (#cleaneating #fitfam)
Non-pretentious take-away salad places (#paleo)
Donuts

Pretty much all godawful and/or nonsense, but I used to love paninis when I could eat wheat without blowing up like a balloon afterwards and those take away salad places are my new best friends. Burrito bowls are mostly overrated.
