A quick inventory of predicted food trends for 2023 ranges from the banal - tinned seafood on TikTok - to the obvious - the Lazy Cooking Movement. People around the world have plainly had their fill of exotic ingredients you have to send out a posse to find, and dishes that photograph better than they taste. One of the biggest trends of the year that has real legs, however, is for nostalgic food a.k.a the sort of dishes and drinks most of us have never moved on from or which have been re-discovered by younger generations.
It’s easy to forget that many popular dishes started as a trend. I recently watched an episode of The Great British Bake Off, where the theme was (the nation’s most-visited food website) and upmarket magazines such as Delicious. Quiche is also a staple pre-prepared offering in all the major supermarkets and is so beloved and widely eaten that people don’t talk about it anymore.
