1980s dining is back on menu thanks to TV series

A SURGE in demand for food from the 1980s is sweeping supermarkets and restaurants alike, as one grocer launches a guide to throwing the perfect '80s dinner party.

The craze, thought to be driven at least in part by the return of Jilly Cooper’s Cotswolds-based Rivals series to TV screens, has led to Waitrose reporting soaring sales of tiramisu and corned beef, while chef Gordon Ramsay's restaurants have added pavlova and a twist on rum baba to their menus.

Almost half of UK adults (48%) say 1980s dishes are making a comeback, according to a survey for Waitrose.

Some 28% said prawn cocktail was the dish they most wanted to see back on their tables, followed by beef bourguignon (24%) and bread and butter pudding (24%).
