Question by : What are the latest trends in food, beverage, and dining?
I run a small family restaurant in upstate New York. I would like to know what are some of the latest trends in dining. For example, what dishes are popular? What is the latest drink trend? What promotions and events are people currently doing to bring in new costumers? Is there a hot new dessert, appetizer, entree, soup or salad? Tell me, I’d love to know. Thanks in advance.

Question by REAL: I would like to meet more people around the world, so tell me something about you and where you live ?
I would like to know something about you and where you live, how is your island or city and where you go out.
It’s just to know how many different type of cultures there is and how everyone’s think.
On my self I am a 22 yr old women, I have a little son of 3 and a half and I live on a nice carribean island named Curacao. We have a nice tropical sunny weather the whole year here, with crystal clear blue water and nice corals and fishes. The entire population is about 160 thousand people living on the island. And we speak papiamentu our mother language, spanish, dutch and english. The people down here are very friendly. Our local dishes are stewed goat, iguana soap, fresh fish of the sea, conchmeat and a lot more.
Tell me something about you’re place and how is out there.?!

Answer by caligirl
I live in New York of the US. We don’t have clear beautiful water like you, but we have four seasons and get to see the buds appear (like they are now) as well as the beautiful changing colors of fall. I, myself a Italian and my family eats the classic Italian foods like pasta fagoli, antipasta salad, eggplant parmesan, etc.
