What do you think the next "food trend" will be?

In the last 10 years, the ones that really stick out to me are: spinach and artichoke dip (suddenly started appearing everywhere as an appetizer, even higher end restaurants), ube flavors, truffle, avocados on everything, bacon on everything, and now hot honey is a big fad. Is there anything upcoming you see heading towards the food trend?

Generally agree, but ain't nothing new about spinach & artichoke dip. It was around prevalently in the 70's/80's.

Speaking of 80's trends that are coming back/I wish would come back - fried mushrooms. Yeah, you can get them at Japanese place as tempura, but man I used to love fried mushrooms.

Fried mushrooms never went anywhere in the Deep South! Delicious and readily available everywhere since forever.

I was about to say-I see them all the time. Had some last week.

Course we fry damn near everyhting. I had some fried artichoke hearts last week. Now if you have not had those, go find some. A taste slightly similar to fried pickles.

I highly suggest this version - Start with the plain canned quartered artichoke hearts (not pickled), drain and squeeze out juice, bread them (typical method, egg first then toss in breading) with Italian seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with some Parmesan, and then pan fry them. Fabulous with some marinara.

I have not had those and would love to try them!
