Sainsbury’s joins some of its peers in identifying culinary nostalgia as a key trend for Christmas 2022.
That’s why its Taste the Difference range is chock-full of products that might not have looked out of place at a late last century dinner party. Take the Prawn Mocktail, truly reminiscent of the original recipe but with a spicy tomato jelly to cement its innovation in 2022.
Salmon canapes, traditional roasting joints and gingerbread also join the lineup to make for a timeless festive season.
