Which food trends do you like or miss?

[Jourdain11]

Inspired by the other thread!

I am quite a fan of halloumi, but I miss it's fad-predecessor, feta ;)

Mochi - I don't even know why! They are weird, but I like them.

Avocado.

Sushi! I am vegetarian but I could happily eat vegi sushi (and bento, for that matter) every day!

Garlic flavoured things. I used to love garlic and herb flavoured nuts. Now they're near impossible to get. Everything is bloody chilli flavoured or salt and vinegar.

Crisy pancakes. Horrible things but I still miss them.

I also miss fruit and coffee creams in chocolate selections.

Ooooh, the Findus?

Oh, adding to my "miss" list: sandwiches with brie and grapes. I swear Pret used to do them? Now you cannot find anything with brie, it's obviously Not Cool.

Goat's cheese
Pasta salad
Greek yoghurt
Overnight oats

Give me Greek yoghurt over skyr or kvarg or whatever any day

I kind of liked the little coconut yoghurts - they tasted nice and seemed healthy. Then I read that they have more sugar than a Muller crunch corner

I like set yoghurt in glass jars, lemon, vanilla, chocolate flavour. In France this is still super usual though, maybe it was never a thing here.

Brie ready-made sandwiches are, somewhat inexplicably, a Christmas Seasonal Special item at most supermarkets. Although I made myself a Brie, cranberry and rocket sandwich for lunch at home today 😋

I like wasabi flavoured snacks that seems to be a thing.

I still don’t quite get salted caramel.

I miss goats cheese and caramelised onion, that used to be everywhere…..hmm must make me something with that at home soon 😁

I’m still in mourning (as a veggie) that Vesta Chow Mein isn’t vegetarian. Sigh.
Yes to the Brie and grapes - I’ve a feeling Greggs had a roll though maybe that was Christmas

I am another that loves a fruit or coffee cream!

I also love halloumi (but don't see it as a fad, having eaten it for near enough the past 40 years...), salted caramel, big French baguette sandwiches, fish cakes from chip shop (very 80s, I understand) and a good jam tart!

We live near an Italian café which does gorgeous crostata. Massive big slabs of jam tart, miam miam!

Co op used to do a Brussels pate with caramelised onion and it was amazing.

Vegetables coming with your £15+ main course when you order in a restaurant, rather than having to order 1 or more £5+ dishes to go with.

Aldi do a Brussels and caramelised onion pâté and its lush!

@Mammyloveswine oooo! I have literally never shopped there but I think I might now!

I still like sundried tomatoes which are very uncool now. Also the goats cheese and caramelised onion that pp mentioned.

I think my food tastes are stuck in the mid naughties

Yes to coffee creams, also Thornton’s dark chocolate ginger bars, M&S chicken, bacon & avocado sandwiches, Sara Lee pecan danish, and fondue (cheese not chocolate)

Balsamic vinegar
Caramalised onion

Ooh I love a sundried tomato. Always have a few jars in use them in pasta sauces/pestos, salads etc.

Is passionfruit cool now? I’ve loved it ever since travelling in Central/South America yonks and yonks ago (jugo de maracuya, por favor!) so would always choose it but lately noted it around more in random things - currently have passionfruit Jaffa cakes and passionfruit cider in the house!
