Spring onion latte: Should this trend stay or leave?
Hmmm... we are undecided.
We've seen some crazy food trends in China, from chilli-infused coffee to stir-fried river rocks.
These are all part of what the Chinese call 'Dark Cuisine'.
"Dark cuisine refers to food and drinks that put people’s sensibilities to the test." (Oddity Central)
The spring onion latte is the most recent 'trend' that has spread like wildfire. A latte that is made by adding chopped spring onion or scallions.
