As a 20-something food enthusiast living in America, it’s hard to avoid the ever-changing rise and fall of food trends that monopolize the food scene. Every era has one — or 20. From the fondue pots of the 1970s to the bite-sized frosted confections of the early 2000s, it’s plain to see that certain dining delights have had more than 15 minutes of fame.
For the most part, I’m perfectly fine with this. And I’m not one to turn up my nose when it comes to another person’s brand of delicious — except when it comes to a particular leafy green.
Kale has always been lingering around the salad sidelines, but when Bon Appétit decreed 2012 as “the year of kale,” it was the wallflower no longer. This rough green suddenly found itself the star of smoothies, salads, and side dishes. It was even transformed into a crunchy snack food. And everyone was singing its praises — except for me.
