Food Fashions
I read in one of the Sunday supplements that the fashionable cuisine for 2011 will be vietnamese and that milk icecream will be the next big dessert.
That got me thinking how fashions in food last longer than in clothes but are still apparent in restaurant menus and supermarket shelves. The last few years have definately seen a few trends- the rise of beetroot and butternut squash and the decine in formerly trendy veg like mange tout and baby corn (somehow just so Harvester now) Every pudding menu had to have a crumble and a creme brule but former faves like Sticky toffee pudding and tiramisu seem a bit pub lunch. And Pork belly , black pudding , scallops and pea puree, thai chili prawns and venison all have been flavour of the past few years. Anyone willing to predict the trends in food this year before we see them all recreated endless times on masterchef....... |

Meh, I still like a bit of baby corn every now and then. Nice and crunchy. Fashion be damned!
![]() I vote for mackerel to become fashionable and scallops to fall from grace! |

Agree cup cakes are nasty. Definite trend back to home baking - real traditonal cakes, bread and also puddings. But OP was asking about what cuisine would be in for 2011. Vietnamese has been popular around here for years.

I think Vietmanese is popular here because it is casual and cheap dining. Tasty too.

noooooooo! I love mackerel and it is usually my fish of choice - I always feel smug in the fishmongers (I know - I'm lucky) when people pay over the odds for a tired bit of sea bass or monkfish and I get a super fresh piece of mackerel for a quarter of the price!!!!! I want it to stay untrendy and cheap!

are these gogi things a superfood- like the time everyone started paying £2 for a punnet of hard and sour blueberries in the belief that they would cure everything- especially encased in a stale Costa muffin.

Vietnamese is fantastic, for me the ultimate fast food. The local place I go to gets your food out about 3 minutes after you order it.
