Every year one can observe food trends come and go, the new ones are everywhere in mass media and restaurants. But how can you incorporate them into a wedding menu? Here we tell about some brand-new food trends in 2017 and what wedding catering companies think about them.
What is Kimchi?
Kimchi is a very spicy Korean dressing which they make from fermented cabbage, and many seasonings. They serve kimchi as a special side dish.
What is so interesting about it?
The dish has always been loved in Korea, locals even say “kimchi” meaning “cheese”, when posing for a photo. As Korean street food cafes and restaurants became more popular in big cities like Glasgow or London, kimchi appeared on the plates (and, of course, in Instagram) of people everywhere in the UK.
Is it good for a wedding?
We’d give it 2 points from 5. Some love spicy food, but, however, this is not the best choice to be taken, when you want to please the majority of wedding guests. The hard task of catering for guests of various nationalities, tastes and ages at the same time makes one opt for a much more neutral main dish. Nevertheless, we suppose is may be used as a part of original canapé at a wedding, if you wish to give it a try.
What is Poke?
One should pronounce it as “po-kay”. Poke is an appetizer, originally from Hawaii; in order to make it, they dice raw fish, marinate it then in a sauce based on soy, in some cases customize it with nuts, spring onions, avocado or seaweed. Recently, thanks to Asian influence, many were inspired by kimchi or wasabi and the way of serving this dish with rice.
What is so interesting about it?
Poke has recently appeared in many restaurants, and it presents an interesting alternative to already known ceviche and sushi.
Is it good for a wedding?
Our professionals in wedding catering in Toronto would give it 4 points from 5. One can serve poke as an exquisite canapé or a starter, especially in summer. This dish is easy to customize and can be catered to different tastes. Poke is a relatively new food trend and that’s why may become a new topic for a conversation at your wedding.
What is “Dude Food”?
This is all that, we know, is so unhealthy but, still, so irresistibly tasty: nachos, chicken wings, burgers… All kinds of fast-food seducing us everywhere we go.
What is so interesting about it?
At the same time when healthy way of living is in fashion, the popularity of food festivals, street food stalls, pizza restaurants and artisan burgers has somehow even increased, thanks to massive advertising in mass-media.
Is it good for a wedding?
Well, an experienced wedding catering company would give it 3 points from 5. On the one hand, it can perfectly help you out if you make it an “evening food” and offer it with alcohol. On the other hand, it may be considered as a lack of taste if you add it to the breakfast at a wedding.
