Foods that have come into favour

Lobster, caviar, oysters... the thought of these foods conjures up images of expensive restaurants and special occasions, but it wasn't always this way. In fact, many such treats were once so undesirable they had to be given away! While chicken wings belong in a bargain bucket, right? Well they used to be the most expensive part of the bird. We explain how some foods' fortunes have changed and also look at how some of today’s cheaper foods are set to become a lot more costly...

    A lot of food was considered cheap until a chef got hold of it!!!! Belly pork, Lamb Breast, Oxtail, i could go on. Hope they keep thinking Coley is for cats or there goes my fish and chips. We do occasionally catch dogfish, so at least they'll stay free!!

    Now do an article on foods that are still low-cost but delicious. I would add kidneys, chicken and duck skin, large potato peelings, ox, lamb and chicken livers, dabs, cuttlefish and dogfish, breast of lamb, pork osso bucco… IDIOT! What am I thinking by listing low cost items people don't consider? Now their prices will go up.
