Bun It and Fork It

 Pulled Pork is always popular and EAT serve it in a bun or in a pot.

Lemon Curd Slice

 EAT tries out lemon curd slices

Finishing Touches

EAT, the take-away sandwich operator, has a cake table at its new Fleet Street branch.  The lines continue to blur between cafe and take-away.

Hot Hot Hot

EAT are being inspired by Cuba

and Vietnam

Carrot, Mango & Lime

EAT continue innovating with their juices - Carrot, Mango & Lime plus Pink Grapefruit & Passionfruit are their winter recipes.

Simple Sandwich

EAT's new Simple Range and large price stickers

Seeds & Sticks

EAT's pot of pomegranate seeds and Costa's Tropical Fruit Sticks show that cafes are not just purveyors of sugar and fatty foods (a.k.a. cake).

The Best Thing since Sliced Bread

   

EAT have come up with three flavours of toast:

Marmalade

Cheese & Marmite

Cinnamon & Sugar

Another clever use of the panini grill - see previous blog post

Flavoured Water

I have always maintained cafes should be profitable given they sell mainly flavoured water (tea, coffee and soup) and flour (scones, cakes and cookies).  Jelly fits the bill perfectly and helps with the calorie count.  Red Cherry Berry Jelly at EAT.

Drinks for "Summer"

Limeade & Pink Lemonade from EAT, Strawberryade from Leon - you can at least drink summer even if you don't feel you have had the weather of a summer!

Beetroot, Apple & Ginger

EAT's new summer drink - Beetroot, Apple & Ginger. The competition amongst the chains drives real innovation.

Jelly & Cherries

EAT's pots of summer jelly (berry and elderflower) and British bags of cherries - seasonal, fresh, healthy and different.

It's all in the packaging

There's not much that is genuinely new but re-formatting and re-packaging a familiar item is worth a try.  EAT's Victoria Sandwich Cake bar.

A new take on Toast

A clever take on an old favourite - toast.  Starbucks, and now EAT, offer thick slices of fruit bread toasted on the panini grill.   There has always been that challenge of how you can get a decent price for dear old toast - now you can.
