Horizons' latest Menurama report shows that whilst Italian remains the top cuisine on menus, American dishes are now more popular than British. All sectors and day parts have been influenced by the US, from pancakes at breakfast to hot dogs appearing in the top 20 mains in pubs and hotels. Meat is still very much the focus of this American influence, with hot dogs, pork ribs, pulled meats and flat iron steaks all appearing frequently on British menus. Horizons believe that this trend is set to continue, with a growth in BBQ, 'low and slow' and authentic US comfort foods such as mac 'n cheese and buttermilk fried chicken. Dishes are also becoming more regionalised, such as Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich, Boston Meatloaf and New Orleans Po'Boy. (source: Horizons)
