The Next Big Thing?

Eastern Europe In his interview earlier Nick didn't want to pre-empt trends with suggesting the next big thing in the food world. After listening to the BBC Radio 4 Food Program (should be available via Listen Again) I'm going to say that - in the UK at least - the next big thing is going to be Eastern European Food.

Since Poland, Hungary, the Baltic republics and others joined the EU many of their residents have decamped to the UK. While stodgy dumplings and cabbage are the cliched view of Eastern European food it seems that these countries have much more to offer. We even have a Latvian blogging from Edinburgh. Pille has discovered a Polish deli there too.

There are several in London too. Next time I make it into town I will endeavor to find one and see what they have to offer; because I know nothing about their culinary traditions - apart from vodka, obviously.
