Following on from my jacket potato on a bed of straw yesterday, I started thinking about trends in food here and ways of serving it.
Today, I have a load of cauli rice to make - enough to make about a month's worth of individual portions, I'm guessing.They were practically giving caulis away at the market, yesterday.
20 years ago, when we moved here, they were rarer than hen's teeth and cost a fortune. Then,one of the trendy Greek chefs was on TV showing how versatile they are and, by the following year, they were being grown here.

Sprouts are still a bit hit and miss, occasionally available.
We keep hoping some popular chef will start a trend for parsnips ....
Anyway, watching New Zealand Masterchef and seeing one restaurant serving mussels 'clinging to a rock' made me giggle.
Are the British trendies still sticking food on bits of slate and serving chips in a miniature basket or have they calmed down now?
