Foodie predictions for 2015
Think 2014 was a great
year for foodies? Then think again because 2015 is set to be a great
year for foodies like 2014 was a great year for foodies, but even
better. Than 2014 was. Why? Because things will happen that haven't
happened before, or at least not in quite the same way, making it one
of the best years for foodies that people will be able to remember
once it's all over. But it's not over yet, so here's Kitchen Person's
2015 foodie hot list for 2015.
Simply follow our hot
tips for the coming year and 2015 will be your foodie-ist year ever.
Unless you followed loads and loads of tips last year and it was a
really amazing foodie year in which case its going to pretty
difficult to top. Here's a tip. Don't follow quite so many foodie
tips next year and then you'll be able to create an upward trend
that, if you're careful, won't top out until say 2022 and then you'll
be able to legitimately start again and keep on having great foodie
years until you die of a diet-related disease. Happy New Year!!
1. Die-hard foodies are
set to flock to Stamford Hill where Lickspittle, the world's first
restaurant built entirely from kale and condescension opens in early
Feb. Menu details are sketchy but expect small plates such as damp
sausage with fermented rage alongside a wide selection of pickled
waiters.
2. British supermarkets
will be sneered from the retail parks and high streets by the culinary elite and driven
underground. Buying a prawn ring from Iceland will become edgy, the gastronomic equivalent of bare knuckle fighting, resulting in a slew of
arch, knowing and wordless magazine photo features, signalling the return
of supermarkets to the mainstream, albeit re-branded as 'artisan
food halls' and selling the same stock as ever, but all wrapped in
butcher's paper.
3. Somewhere remote,
difficult to pronounce and with virtually no cuisine to speak of is
the new must-go-to foodie hot spot. Don't let the fact that its one
and only speciality is served in a restaurant in Acton that's far
superior to anything you'd find the native country put you off going-
book as soon as you read the broadsheet double page spread.
4. Someone, somewhere
will serve a de-constructed Aztec Bar as a dessert. They will have an
ironic look on their face as they do it. The bill will be presented
with home made Black Jacks and Fruit Salads.
5. By the end of 2015,
your bill for monthly mail order food and drink clubs will far exceed
your mortgage payments. You will come to your senses just before you
hit the PayPal option for Heritage Carrot Club.
6. If you want to drink
right then think right and get in early on the home brewed Tizer
craze that's set to sweep the nation next year as part of the
locavore soft drink movement heading our way from the states very
soon.
7. Participate in Eat
Dirt, the government-backed campaign to help address the impending
food security apocalypse by encouraging ordinary families to chow
down on soil from their own gardens (Londoners should ignore this tip
and continue to eat in a newly opened restaurant everyday, but are
encouraged to spare a thought for less fortunate provincials).
8. Drink, like, a
really cool cocktail? In some bar or other?
9. From 6-14 March,
Italian superstar chef Adalberto Abandonato brings his 96 course
birdsong-inspired tasting menu to central London. Abandonato's
cooking is so progressive that diners don't actually eat any food but
are 'forced to sense the taste, texture and aroma through the chef's
psychic will and sheer force of personality'. From £999 per head
plus matched psychic 'wines'.
10. Condensed milk is
the ingredient for 2015. Whether it's served chilled in its cute
retro can as a pre-dinner drink, cascaded into soups, stews and chip
pans or simply roasted over an open pit fire, this versatile and massively
sweetened dairy product will add zing to any switched on cook's
repertoire next year.
