While ethnic cuisines such as Asian, Mediterranean and regional Mexican are top on U.S. diners list of favorites, foods from the Northern European countries of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Belgium are now taking the lead in culinary influence, according to the recently released “New Old World Cuisine: Culinary Trend Mapping Report" from the Center for Culinary Development (CCD) and market research publisher Packaged Facts.
According to the report, American foodies are digging deeper to understand where their everyday food comes from, they are unearthing more authentic versions to buy, sample or make at home. They are discovering great taste, small batch flavors and textures, and long-standing food pairings continue to make gustatory sense. Prime examples include beer with bratwurst, smoked fish with dark hearty breads and schnitzel with spaetzle.
"We see Americans grabbing hold of the flavors and traditions of these culinary stalwarts and bringing them into the 21st century food landscape. From schnitzel food trucks to the wave of craft beer gardens popping up in city after city, we are clearly reclaiming or embracing the culture and traditions of these Old World nations and refreshing them as our own," said Kimberly Egan, CEO of CCD. "It's thrilling to witness the rise of these long under-heralded Old World cuisines within the American food landscape. As consumers continue to seek out excitement and enlightenment through new global cuisines, they will continue to learn how local flavors and foods are born out of culture, an understanding that can enrich and add meaning to our eating experiences."
