2015 Food Trends?

By Emma @glasgowfoodie

More burgers!

Sigh, we know!  You can’t get moving for burgers.  Will we see better provenance? Different cooking styles? We hear the flat grill is back – chargilling is so 2014.  Look out for Five Guys expanding, Byron, Meatliquor and seemingly In and Out are heading to London.

Chicken

In the style of the amazing Henne in Berlin (really must get that post up!), London is again showing the way with Meatliquor opening up Chickenliquor.  A host of street food vans and new venues have opened in a relatively short space of time. Will this trend make its way here?

Buttery Coffee

With some of the best roasted coffee and coffee shops around as well as a love for all things greasy, Glasgow and Edinburgh should be embracing this new Paleo friendly drink – Bulletproof Coffee is the name of this delight and it can be made as follows:

Soup

Real soup with chunks in it. Made with legs and bones (as we’ve discovered you can do with a Thermomix) and with spices to liven up your soul.

Matcha

Is high quality finely milled green tea. This Japanese drink is seemingly high in antioxidants (containing around 130 times more than an average cup of green tea), has caffeine and the amino acid L-theanine, which is a mood-booster and said to strengthen cognitive ability.

Mexican/South American Food

Ceviche, Argentinian steak, quinoa drinks etc, there’s more to this cuisine than tortillas, fajitas and quesadillas!
