10 Childhood Foods That Are Trending Again and Why We Still Love Them

Food trends often seem obsessed with what is new, unusual and Instagram-worthy. Yet one of the most interesting movements in food is taking us backwards. Foods many people remember from school lunches, grandparents' kitchens and after-school snacks are quietly returning. Some are being revived almost exactly as they were, while others are being given healthier ingredients or more sophisticated presentations. The appeal is not simply nostalgia. These foods are often affordable, familiar and easy to understand, qualities that matter when shoppers are increasingly careful about what they buy. The result is a new generation discovering flavours that older generations never really stopped loving.
