    With 2023 well and truly underway, some of this year\u2019s biggest food trends are already out of the starting blocks.<\/p>\n

    While there\u2019s no way we could ever predict the future, these are the foods, flavours, ingredients and inspiration that we reckon we’ll be seeing in restaurants across the country over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

    1. Gildas<\/h3>\n
    \n

    Aperitivo hour was on the up in 2022, likely in response to post-Covid freedom, which gave rise to \u2018cool\u2019 cocktails, such as Martinis and, of course, Negronis (with the Negroni Sbagliato deserving an honourable mention). While these drinks won\u2019t be going anywhere anytime soon, this year is all about the snacks served alongside them. Specifically, look out for snacks, like Gildas, a Basque bite featuring a green olive, a pickled guindilla pepper and an anchovy, skewered onto a toothpick. Or even, housemade potato crisps tossed in a spicy blend and doused with hot sauce. Olives and chips, we love you, but it\u2019s time for an upgrade.<\/p>\n

    2. Vermouth<\/h3>\n
    \n

    Likely another hangover from the Negroni and Martini trend from the last few years, vermouth is a common addition to many of these cocktails. Vermouth is a fortified wine, characterised by botanical and herbaceous notes, hence its popularity in other drinks. But in 2023, it\u2019s stepping into the spotlight as a drink all its own and there are various ways you can enjoy it. You could top it up with tonic or drink it neat, but I say, the best way is over ice, with a dash of soda to open up those herby flavours, with either orange peel or an olive (or two) thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n
