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."

Sour Kraut as well?
Indeed it sounds like Hollywood trendy food anyone who would eat that stuff would eat s**t with a dirty spoon.
I Was Thinking;
“Long Pork.”
But aren't giraffes endangered?
No, no - I know what “Long Pork” is - and I'll pass...
With Biden’s inflation what we eat will be based on what we can still afford or still obtain with the Biden driven supply chain crisis emptying grocery store shelves. I would predict Great Depression era foods will be the new trend. How many ways can you serve a can of pork and beans?
I’ll have the San Diego Zoo Giraffe Steak, Texas Grass Salad, and for an appetizer I’ll have the Detroit Zoo Lion Medallions. For dessert, I’ll have some Fava Beans. Could you bring us a nice Chianti to go with that?
Wow...just like high end Venezuela cuisine!
canned beans are luxury!!
So yummy.
But not a substitute for a burger.

You have to beat Laz. Very challenging.
And humble. Easy-peasy!
Yes
and yes it is from Cyprus, the Greek side of the island.
It is really a Saturday morning indulgence sort of thing. That is about the only time we have time to enjoy a full breakfast.
The rest of the week it is shove it down your cake hole and out the door second caffeinated drink of choice in hand.
LOL.

If 'beating Laz' includes beating his 'potential' "HIT"
rate - then I have already lost, understand? LOL!
Oh, for cryin’ out freakin’ loud.
