It's 'Move Over Sarnies' as Exotic Salads Increase Their Share of the Lunchtime Snack Market



Move over sandwiches – exotic salads are growing in popularity as a new lunchtime favourite for office workers and those on the go.

Increasing numbers of shoppers across the UK are now choosing a salad over a sarnie, wrap or roll and it's the healthier end of the salad market that is growing the fastest.
Latest retail sales data* reveals that in the last year demand for leafy salads across all retailers have grown by nearly three times the rate of sandwiches.

At the same time demand for 'light' salads have grown at nearly four times the rate of sandwiches.

The growing trend has prompted Tesco to completely overhaul and more than treble its 'on the go' salad range to nearly 50 lines.

Included in the new range are such exotic salads:
  • finest* Crayfish and Mango Salad
  • finest* Coconut Asian Chicken Salad
  • finest* King Prawn, Spicy Charlotte Potato Salad with Sour Cream and Lime Dressing
  • Salmon and Edamame Sushi Rice Salad
  • Yakitori Chicken Sushi Salad
Tesco salad buyer Helen Dwyer said: “The quality and range of ready to eat salads has improved so much in recent years that they are attracting shoppers who might otherwise have bought a sandwich, roll or wrap.

“Traditionally, sales of prepared salads would rise during the summer months and drop again during the winter.

“Now, because of the exciting number of new gourmet salads available that demand is not only sustained throughout the year but is bringing in plenty of new customers who might otherwise have chosen a sandwich as a lunchtime snack.

“This current boom has prompted us to launch what we believe to be among the most sumptuous and wide-ranging 'on the go' salad range available on the high street but at equally mouth-watering prices. 

“We've included something for everyone – from our finest* top of the range lines to lighter sushi rice salads and Healthy Living range for those looking to maintain a balanced diet.”
The new Tesco 'on the go' salad range also includes four new first to market lines that can be eaten hot or cold.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
