Next year's restaurant industry trend predictions are in, and they include avocado coffee (an Indonesian delicacy), gourmet egg sandwiches and Burger King Whoppers made with Halloumi cheese instead of burgers.
Why it matters: As the pandemic lingers, it's shaping what ingredients are available as well as how we eat, with newfound habits that we once thought were temporary turning out to be permanent.
Driving the news: A new forecast from Technomic, a food service industry consultancy, predicts that many trends of the past year — like ghost kitchens, meal kits and restaurants selling groceries — will likely persist.
"We continue to see the push towards selling foods that are meant to be consumed outside of the restaurant, whether it's to-go ordering or delivery," Aaron Jourden, a senior research manager at Technomic, tells Axios. "The elephant in the room is this lingering pandemic that forced ongoing shutdowns across different countries and has really continued to inform what everybody is doing." Jourden and his team scour menus from 25 countries to glean trends about what we'll be eating and how we'll consume it. They expect to see these dishes and ingredients popping up globally:
Mutabal, a Middle Eastern eggplant dip similar to baba ghanoush.
Plant-based eggs.
Pao de queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread. Tlayudas, a Mexican-style pizza built on a crispy tortilla.
Halloumi, a Greek cheese that Technomic says is "primed for the center stage as a craveable, vegetarian-friendly alternative to meat."

If things keep going the way they are going, I have a feeling that it will be “Whatever we can find” and we will be glad to get it. The young are going to be in a hell of a lot of trouble. Most do and will not have the intelligence to either find or prepare food. House cats, dogs, birds, rats had better be nervous.
No Kitty! that’s my pot pie!!

Yeah, right.
How about steak and potatoes, fried chicken, apple pie with ice cream, and chocolate chip cookies, like we always eat?
None of that ta-ta elitist snob food for me. They act like everyone would ant it and like it. Sure.
