Some things should not be revived. For example, 80s food. Even hipsters should have SOME limits.https://twitter.com/saramayeux/status/567114873285263360 …

@emptywheel Also: quiche as a bizarre minor front in the culture wars. -
@HealeyParera But only quiche lorraine. Nothing crazy or overly creative. Remember, this was an anti-broccoli era. -
@emptywheel That's the really puzzling thing about an 80s food revival: there's nothing to revive. Creativity was anywhere but in cuisine. -
@HealeyParera Avocados were an important breakthrough though. Once you could eat slimy things w/funny skin, no holds barred. -
@emptywheel Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and don't mess w/ Mr. In Between. Avocados FTW. -
@HealeyParera I should confess I tried to grow avocado when I lived in NY then moved to SoCal where developments had not yet eaten orchards -
@emptywheel A friend in Santa Clara rented a house with a crazy avocado tree, maybe 60 feet tall. A dangerous pleasure when they ripened..
