It absolutely saddens me to announce that gen z is slowly but surely replacing avocado toast with...wait for it...“tomato ice toast.”
Gen Z TikTokkers have stunned viewers with their latest controversial concoctions using shaved, frozen vegetables to make savory granitas. If you haven't heard of a granita allow me to explain! Granita, a simple shaved ice, has long been enjoyed by Italians. It is typically made by freezing fruit, herbal or spice juices, sometimes adding simple syrup, and scraping the frozen block into a bowl to be eaten.
Lemon, cinnamon, jasmine and espresso are some of the most common flavors found on menus around the world.However, Gen Z foodies have put a fresh twist on the sweet treat by freezing whole fruits and vegetables and grating them on top of toast and burrata or mixing the shavings together for an ice-y salad.
Tik Tok user Chef Eitan Bernath grated a portion of a frozen tomato over an open ball of burrata. He then drizzled olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top, finishing with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a sprig of basil.
Some viewers thought the frozen version of a tomato, basil and burrata salad was “genius” but others simply said, “No.”
