SPICY, Eastern-style food will become a breakfast staple within 15 years, food experts predicted yesterday.

The panel of experts also said breakfast will become more important than dinner and be seen as the main daily meal – running to three courses by 2031.
Seafood and seaweed were tipped as future breakfast “superfoods”, following the popularity of warm crab porridge in China. And we will sprinkle spices and chillis on our food, with firms cashing in by introducing fiery cereal brands in the supermarkets, the panel concluded.
More morning fishy dishes are expected due to influences from Poland, the Middle East and Scandinavia, inspiring a move towards kedgeree, kippers, sardines, fish fingers and devilled kidneys. Panel member and chef Guy Wolley said: “In the future we will take breakfast much more seriously. Seaweed, spices and fish will be popular.”Kellogg’s, behind the study, said: “Already spices and fish are more commonplace on the British breakfast plate.”
