His predictions/suggestions for the new food pantry trends. I agree with pretty much all of it except for the vinegar thing. There are some flavored vinegars that I like to use (black fig, blood orange, pecan).

I'll bet most of us here are ahead of the curve on most of these things. It's a nice "validation."

Nothing here that I would consider a "New Trend".
He specified cheap in reference to flavored vinegars - agree. The better ones will still be trendy because they are so versatile - everything from drinking as is to use as a condiment.

Even though it is only January 7th, I am sure that is the most worthless food article I will read this year. It is a sad day when tripe like that is printed in the NYT. What next? Weekly bio's of "celebrity chefs"??

Good litle article in today's Washington Post food section on homemade vinegars.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. While we won't get much use from this information it's nice to see someone with so much exposure put it out there.
