Remember when Whole Foods tried to sell us 6 dollar asparagus water?
What is more ridiculous: that people bought it or that Whole Foods tried to sell it?
While this is just an example of hipsters gone way too far, there have been other times where hipsters actually got it right. Let's explore a few.
1. Sushi-rittos
It's basically a bigger and longer, uncut roll of sushi.
I tried this at New Sushi in Boston, which is near Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). It was absolutely amazing; I highly recommend it if you like sushi. It's very filling and only around $10 for quite a few fillings.
2. Kaleamole
I actually like kale, it's one of the healthiest vegetables out there. As someone with terrible eyesight, I need all the vitamin A I can get.
Kale is easy to cook, but it tastes super bland. But imagine eating guacamole flavored kale! When I put it like that it actually sounds very unappetizing.
3. Acai Bowls
Acai bowls are basically extra expensive smoothies in a bowl with fruit and cereal stuff on top, but it tastes so good... gotta do it for the Instagram pic.
Here are a few great locations in Boston if you want to try it out: Jugos, Bom Cafe, and Juice Press.
4. Halo Top Ice Cream
Let's be honest, ice cream has no texture so it's all about the taste. And Halo Top has some great interesting flavors, like Smores and Red Velvet!
I love ice cream! But every time I eat it, you feel guilty because of how fattening it is. For instance, Haagen Daz has 16 grams of fat per serving in its plain vanilla. That's per serving. Unless one carton is suddenly one serving, I've been eating one serving.
But Halo Ice Cream has a lot less fat (2 grams per serving!) so thanks @ them for helping get rid of my ice cream guilt.
5. Fomu Ice Cream in Boston
Did I mention I like ice cream?
This ice cream is completely vegan and has some interesting flavors like avocado and earl grey (delicious, if you were wondering). It has gelato like consistency from the avocado base.
There's a location around 20 minutes from Northeastern's campus, so you don't have to go all the way to Cambridge to get it.
None of this was endorsed by anybody, I just enjoy food. So if you are every bored with your routine and want to try a new food, go ahead and take the risk!
