You'll either Hate it or Love it


Rice cakes from Marmite.  See previous post re Pret's sweet version http://greatcafes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/rice-cakes.html


Foodservice guru Peter Backman of Horizons is just back from the Chicago National Restaurateurs Association Show and reports:
"The American consumer has been persuaded that gluten-freedom is the path to a happy life and consequently gluten free is all the rage. You want gluten free bread of course - you can have hamburger buns, sub buns, hot dog buns, muffins, cookies, desserts (including gluten free mudslide pie) - and more".

Rice Cakes

Another clever transfer from Julian Metcalfe's Itsu operation to mainstream Pret - chocolate covered rice cakes.  Will they follow popcorn and go nationwide?
