Has this fad finally passed? I was looking at the chocolate bars in the supermarket yesterday and there were very few salty ones.. I love salt, on savoury things!

I'm seeing less of it.

Salted caramel i could keep - it's lush.

Salted chocolate just tastes stale.

@Heratnumber7 Sainsburys taste the difference with Cornish sea salt. Lovely. The various Brittany butters with sea salt are good, too, but I prefer to buy British, here.

See I think salted caramel has been around for years and it's just butterscotch but in a new trendy outfit 😂
They've not made butterscotch angel delight into salted caramel yet so we're safe!

Everyone raved about salted caramel chocolate. One day I was in the shop and saw Lindt had a salted caramel chocolate bar. I’ll have a go at that, I think. It tasted like a perfectly good caramel chocolate bar ruined by the addition of salt. Highly disappointed!

Scrambled Your DD may like the new Kit Kat Chunky flavour .............Salted Caramel Fudge.

I hope not. I love it. I used to eat crisps and chocolate together as a kid to get the sweet and salty taste. I had a salted caramel milkshake the other day which was yum

Don’t diss the salted caramel baileys, it’s the best one, especially when mixed with milk in the frother and poured over coffee

I had a salt beef bagel yesterday...

Salted caramel was a disgusting fad though.

I am fed up of 'salted everything' - although the salt caramel sauce I make (once in a blue moon!) myself is really nice - but its been done to death and much of it is total crap, no other flavours than 'salt and sweet'.

I am particularly over the 'gin' craze but that seems like its going to stick around until all the gin drinkers are in rehab.

I don't get it, it tastes vile no matter what its been flavoured with and it makes me puke - but apparently glorifying alcoholism is on trend at the minute!

I am disappointed by most salted caramel. It isn't salty at all but extremely sweet and is basically 1980s Callard and Bowser butterscotch.

I am expecting peanut and soy sauce levels of saltiness. Don't give me butterscotch.

Everything artisan and rustic. Talk about over egging the pudding (which would also, presumably, be artisan and/or rustic).

Oh I really hope Rum is the next big thing. I can't stand gin. I hope it's dark rum that comes into fashion.

And cheese with fruit.... yes please. I like the cranberry and Wensleydale combo. Lovely at Christmas! And a ploughman's lunch is not complete without an apple and cheese.

In fact, my mum used to give me apple and cheese as a snack when I was little. I very often give my DD cheese on crackers with some apple and grapes on the side. She loves it.

Good point about 'traditional British' fads. I was going to say the next big thing could be cider but I think that's always fairly big isn't it?

@StealthPolarBear Tesco salted caramel fudge is delicious 😋 so based on that yabvvu 😂
