ITT We predict food trends

they arent on every menu the way truffles are on every "fine dining" menu and sriracha is on every casual menu.

Pho and Ramen are already pretty big food trends, my flyover friend.

Meat pies are pretty much the opposite of what's popular in America right now.

The whole point of okonomiyaki is that its covered in mayo and okonomi sauce

The whole point is you can make it however you want it and that it's a pancake. That's really it.

Okonomiyaki is rare if you don't live somewhere with a real Japanese population.

The only thing I've seen with fish sauce that could possible be a sign of it becoming a mainstream trend is Pok Pok's fish sauce wings.

Hipster everyone knows they aren't new and okonomiyaki has been popular in Japan since before you were born, so way before 2002. Same shit goes for fish sauce in southeast Asia.

Neither is popular in the US, I almost never see okonomiyaki on the menu at Japanese restaurants and can only consistently find a shitty fake version of it at those Korean restaurants that don't have enough good Korean food so they add in some Japanese stuff too.

The ingredient list is fluid outside of the cabbage and special flour on the inside.
But the actual okonomiyaki restaurants all have their own special okonomi sauce and many their own mayo. They're required ingredients

i live in a heavily german city in canada and we have okonomiyaki here

So, Okonomiyaki is a Japanese pizza?

Okonomiyaki is nothing like pizza except that you can put a lot of various ingredients in it.

So... it's a japanese pizza?

First of all, ass, I'm not a hipster, and I'm also waaay older than you, I guarantee it.
Secondly, I can easily find okonomiyaki at any number of Japanese restaurants in my city, as well as heavy use of fish sauce all over, not just in asian restaurants. So, you know, fuck off and take your unpleasant attitude somewhere else.

Not at all. If anything, it's more like a pancake that has a ton of stuff mixed into the batter. It's crispy and browned, but the center stays a little creamy. Topped with okonomi sauce and japanese mayo, bonito flakes, nori flakes, and ginger.

So a sandwich is like an English pizza?
An omelette is like a French pizza?
A casserole is like a white lady pizza?

>unusual ingredients in place of food colorings like beet juice in red velvet cake.
Uhh... that's the traditional method.

What is the Neon Genesis Evangelion of pizza?

That Japanese pizza with corn and hot dogs.

Black olives, pepperoni, fresh tomato slices, and anchovies.

A dick in Photoshop

This. And the smell is extremely offputting.

Trends need to have wide appeal. I'm placing my bet on mangoes, at least for the summer. Trader joes' is already shoving it down our throats so expect everywhere else to catch up.

Mangoes and any other fruit not found in the US will never catch on in any kind of way because people here don't understand seasonal. Mangoes are so bad here

>fish sauce is too liquid to trend, wait until someone invents a dippable form

Unagi sauce

>Ponzu, maybe. Not fish sauce.

>No. I live where it's predominantly asian and that shit literally flopped.

okonomiyaki isn't big or filling enough to sate western fatso appetities. you'd have to either make a 12 inch or 'go ok' deep version or find something else to serve it with. I don't think fries would work.

You rarely ever order only one flavor though. I'm not a big fan of eating two alone but I like going out with another person and eating 3 different flavors, usually pork, beef, and squid. Sometimes we'll get a monjya instead of one but that shit will NEVER catch on anywhere outside of Japan for pic related reasons. Its delicious though, but okonomiyaki is definitely better

I rubbed my spear of longinus on it for you

we usually get a few and share them, then realise we are all still hungry and get yakisoba, which is the only other thing they sell. still end up hungry.

Who /mouthfeel/ here?

They must be extremely small or you're kinda fat.

The ones in Japan usually end up being about the size of a small pizza. That should be plenty of food

I live in japan and they are small. they aren't anywhere near as filling as a pizza of the same size.

>I live in japan and they are small.
I'm a weeaboo posting from somewhere in the Midwest.

Pretty much any exotic umami based ingredient will become trendy eventually IMO, on a semi-related note I can see other varieties of ketchup like banana ketchup and mushroom ketchup gaining more mainstream popularity, they're already popular with hipsters and foodies

'se 'za

Go wild, faggot.

which is superior? 'ma ok or 'ka ok?

I weigh 150lbs and 1 okonomiyaki from Japan is nowhere near enough food for one person unless you're a 80lb Jap girl, especially since they're full of air bubbles and cabbage, I dunno where the fuck you went if they served you okonomiyaki that were big enough that a single one could feed an adult

>1 okonomiyaki from Japan
You get them delivered from Japan??
I hope you tip well.

1 and 1/2 should be good, 2 is always more than enough for me. I agree one is never enough though, but they are usually only 800-1500 yen for one and they're kind of a mid range food so 2-3000 yen for a meal is pretty reasonable

'go 'za obviously. Both are "deep" overrated shit.

food lab puts it in tons of shit like tomato sauce, it's almost here buddy

every town with more than 1 horse in it has a ramen shop and a pho place so I want to know what part of north Dakota you live in

Bismarck.
Have you been here?

Even in big cities ramen tends to be pretty garbage, I can only imagine how it is in the smaller towns

what is middle america like? I was unaware you had internet, I am quite surprised to read your post!

Cuckfornian Boba Sippers need to go to hell

lrn2reply, or better yet, piss off back to plebbit

You dipshits have these threads all the time and none of you are ever right. Stop thinking you're clever

We have 'pot pies' in the us

Jap 'za

>being this late to the game

Miso
Miso caramel
Smoking stuff that's not meat

Macrowaves will be the next meme appliance craze (dielectric heaters working at low MHz frequencies).

Meat pie is already a thing in French Canada

underrated

I make meat pies.

Underrated post.

3D printing technology will soon be adapted to food. I actually have a friend that will be on the Shark Tank TV show soon because he and a group of engineers have developed a 3D printer that makes pizza

Hot Pockets?

white pansies are too afraid to share food from one large grilltop

But both of those have been mainstream for a while, flyover

Are you still going crazy over nutella, by any chance?

You filthy nigger.. We have these in Michigan.. They are called PASTIES

Wow we can squirt 3-5 basic ingredients with an extruder out of a mechanized system. Your post is stupid and you are stupid. We have been mas producing frozen pizzas for decades now and much more efficiently than current 3d printing technology can. The simple fact is pizza is one of the few things with a short ingredient list that a printer would be capable of barring a huge breakthrough.

Tell me how you'd print fried chicken you fuck nut.

You racist retard, it's because it looks like vomit.

We already have a bunch of hipster meat pie restaurants in Toronto. One is even Australian (or perhaps just Australian-themed, I don't know).

theres an australian meat pie place thats pretty popular in downtown LA right now too

America food trend: anything that can hold cheese and be deep fried.

Rest of the world: maybe Vietnamese rice paper rolls again, they were popular for a while about 5 years ago but i'm seeing more Viet places pop up again lately.

And McDonald's has been putting ground up chicken anuses in nuggies, yet they won't become the new meme food. The food needs to be actively used by the customers to become a trend.

Flyovers

Nah, the Australian company Four'N Twenty tried to open up a meat pie franchise about 10 years ago and it flopped after a few months of initial craze

>print layer of batter
>print layer of finely ground chicken mince
>print another layer of batter
>fry

Congratulations, you now have 3D printed fried chicken retard

Pickled fruit will be the food meme of 2016

Chill queer, all I did was make a prediction. I'm not shilling the product you faggot. It might be dumb but why the hate? Dipshit

I'm just hoping avocado in everything will go away. Avocado isn't bad and is a fine ingredient but who are these retards paying an extra 1-2 bucks to get it? Its definitely not that good

>who are these retards paying an extra 1-2 bucks to get it

Maybe go somewhere other than Chipotle once in awhile.

South American food.

fish sauce already gets put on/in everything..

Dear God I hate this meme.

This, none of this shit is new if you've ever been to Seattle or Portland.

Or anywhere on the west coast from LA north. I live in NorCal (not even the Bay area), and there's a bunch of places that serve okonomiyaki, and fish sauce is a staple seasoning.

I'm from England, so I guess Middle Eastern food.

agreed, its catching on the east coast too

>completely skipped over vancouver
Its like people think that we are part of portland
We're not and its a shithole

>Fish sauce will be the next big ingredient people find a way of putting into everything

I know Ameribigs love salt but fish sauce is literally just sodium in a liquid form. Plus there is no way to make the concept "fermented fish flesh" appeal to the average dumbfuck.

Vancouver isn't between Seattle and Portland. You might as well have accused him of skipping over Montreal.

Really? Because I know flyovers eat things like anchovies and sardines, and herring, and other preserved fish, plus I'm sure they use Wocestershire sauce, which is made with anchovies. Fish sauce is just as acceptable and good as all those things. I even add fish sauce to my spaghetti sauce when I realize I don't have any anchovies in the pantry. Anyone who thinks fish sauce is gross is a dumb motherfucker.

food lab is always right

I'm an american who uses fish sauce regularly, it stores better than anchovies.

>Okonomiyaki is on deck next after KFC peaks and will soon be found in every Japanese and Korean restaurant in the US

God I wish

>Vancouver isn't between Seattle and Portland

Vancouver, WA is. You're thinking of Vancouver, BC.

>>Fish sauce will be the next big ingredient people find a way of putting into everything

you're awful at this. fish sauce inherently smells and tastes disgusting to everyone.
