Food Trends: SNACKS/SWEETS/Part 3

Food and beverage trends seen at International Restaurant & Food Service Tradeshow:
 ...not surprisingly-are what's consumer popular right now-more natural ingredients- including sweetners like stevia+honey, foods locally sourced, small crafted production batches, allergy aware eats-(gluten free), and gourmet cocktails,


Wicked Twisted Soft Pretzels-ahhh-too bad our local sports' stadiums don't serve this version of the classic chewy Bavarian style soft pretzel (bought frozen-then heated) Made without crap ingredients of the usual fare (corn syrup-yikes!). Also have a line of mustards and hard pretzels.


Ohio based, Jagger Cone crispy ice cream cones-and waffle bowls-and nachos-nut free, baked, 0 trans fat, made with sea salt-the flat crispy waffle nachos can be used as a dipping chip. Yummy. Be warned when buying in bulk-very addictive.

TIP: NATIONAL ICE CREAM CONE DAY is July 16th, 2017-the 3rd Sunday of July

Finger Lake NY-boasts some worthy wines-notably, .Rieslings-And very popular Concord grape pies are also tourist worthy of souvenirs-as is attending the annual GRAPE PIE FESTIVAL. By Arbor Hill Winery-pictured above-pre-made topping/filling
