The document provides predictions for food trends in 2023 from Bompas & Parr, a studio that focuses on spectacle, occasion, ritual and public expression through food experiences. Some of the key predictions include:
1) The rise of "hyperspatial wonder" - food experiences that use fractal patterns, optical illusions, and spaces that expand/contract based on occupancy to enhance the experience.
2) "Responsive dinners" where food adapts instantaneously based on real-time trends and the diner's preferences/mood through advances in AI and mixed reality technologies.
3) The emergence of "gastro survivalist chic" as anxieties over resources and climate change increase interest

The metaverse is a synthesized world which is composed of user-controlled avatars, digital things, virtual environments, and other computer-generated elements, where humans (represented by avatars) can use their virtual identity through any smart device to communicate, collaborate, and socialize with each other. Physical Infrastructures: The physical world offers supporting infrastructures (including sensing/control, communication, computation, and storage infrastructures) to the metaverse to support multi-sensory data perception, transmission, processing, and caching, as well as physical control, thereby enabling efficient interactions with both the digital and human worlds.Metaverse Engine: The metaverse engine uses the big data from the real world as inputs to generate, maintain, and update the virtual world via the interactivity, AI, digital twin, and blockchain technologies. Particularly, with the assistance of XR and HCI techniques, users situated in physical environments are able to immersively control their digital avatars in the metaverse via their senses and bodies for diverse collective and social activities such as car racing, dating, and virtual item trading.

Arup - 2050 scenarios - four plausible futuresJohn Smith
2050 Scenarios: Four plausible futures is intended to develop a vocabulary and framework to help us envision different futures and provide a platform to discuss the implications of the implied trajectories. Ultimately, they help to identify and visualise what is worth striving for and what to avoid.
Arup has developed the scenarios in line with our commitment to shaping a sustainable future and a recognition that the path towards it will be challenging.
Radical design solutions will be required. Our approach plots each scenario in relation to two intersecting axes: planetary health and societal condition.
The science-based targets of the nine Planetary Boundaries, Arup’s Drivers of Change cards, as well as the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) were used to set parameters and guide the scenario development.
The core narrative of each scenario is accompanied by a story told from the perspective of a person within that world. A timeline of events between today and 2050 describes how each world could come to exist, along with key facts and references. The extent to which each scenario satisfies the 17 UN SDGs is also indicated.
POST ANTHROPOCENE shows how societal conditions and planetary health might exist in a harmonious relationship, fortifying each other for mutual progress and benefit. Taman, a biotech project manager in Jakarta, is finding his place in this balanced world.
GREENTOCRACY describes an improvement in planetary health which has been enabled by severe restrictions on human society: restrictive living conditions, conflict and authoritarian regimes prevail. The accompanying story details the everyday compromises made by Moussa as he heads to work in eastern Senegal.
EXTINCTION EXPRESS depicts both declining planetary health and societal conditions. It is questionable how much longer humanity can survive. Caitlyn, an Oslo-based commodities trader, is shocked into facing the realities of her privileged existence.
HUMANS INC. represents our current trajectory; a world in which societal conditions advance at the cost of planetary health. The accompanying story describes Yuka, a Nunavut native, as she struggles with the changes that have engulfed her once remote home.
Plausible future conditions help to challenge existing biases and assumptions about what is possible, engaging curiosity and imagination. Building and sharing scenarios allow the co-creation of visions of a future worth working towards.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed
2. Reflections on 2022
Just when we thought the upheavals were over - 2022 happened. The
lockdown banana breads had barely cooled before the first war on European
soil in over 70 years brought deep fractures in the world’s geopolitical
cohesion. Economic uncertainty is on everyone’s lips, with energy prices and
inflation meaning many are feeling the squeeze. On top of this, 2022 saw the
world's most iconic face slide from view, someone who was for many the very
definition of resilience through turbulent times.
And yet, despite it all, we persevere and continue to flourish in optimism and
hope; what a wonder is (wo)mankind! At Bompas & Parr we never cease to
be amazed.
For 2022 was also the year that resoundingly confirmed our belief at the
studio in the immense power and importance of spectacle, occasion, ritual and
public expression & revelry. At the studio over the past year we’ve been doing
what we do best - giving people stories, sensations, experiences and gustatory
wonders that will enrapture and endure. It’s also at times like these that you
have to get imaginative. You have to go beyond what’s expected. Well, well
beyond…
Why?
Because change itself has never before been so changeable. Merely tracking
the zeitgeist will no longer suffice. People are thirsty for newness, longing for
experiential refreshment.
In this report, we carefully build predictions (sometimes provocative, always
inspiring) out of microscopic social, creative and culinary flutterings. We also
like to look the big issues in the eye, with trade mark irreverence and a sense
of humour. Either way, we make sure to absorb information from an
audaciously expanded field - the latest scientific discoveries, design
innovations, technology advancements, mass paranoias, and fake conspiracy
theories, to name but a few.
This reflects an approach that drives Bompas and Parr’s strategy more
generally - it’s one that attracts commercial partners, government agencies and
artistic collaborators as it leverages the studio’s capacity to consider and
develop nascent ideas before they have already reached critical mass.
To do this, we regularly collaborate with psychologists, biologists, technologists,
artists and other disciplines who work at the cutting edge. Last year’s report
focussed on geophagy, hypnotic dining, and food in the metaverse. This year
we’re plunging into the worlds of hyperspace, interspecies communication,
gastro-survivalism and beyond…
We will be monitoring the months and years ahead for signs of wider
adoption of the trends we identify. Please read, absorb and ruminate on the
contents of this report, one that we are sure will nourish your synaptic firings,
as it subverts your masticatory expectations…
3. Let’s be real - most industry trend reports are as plentiful as they are
indistinguishable. Who, we wonder, needs to be told once again that
‘sustainability is key’? While some reports are genuinely fantastic, of course,
most simply rearrange things you can find elsewhere on the internet.
Instead - our Imminent Future of Food is cut directly from the heart of what we
do at the Bompas & Parr studio everyday. A living, breathing factory of
innovation.We don’t copy and paste - we actively interrogate.
While standard industry trend reports might have more quantitative data, and
pull from more focus groups - most often the trends they identify are over by
the time the report is published.
To steer clear of this, our Imminent Future of Food intends to inspire as much as
predict.We intend to initiate change as much as we report on it.
Why go beyond trend
reports?

7. What is HyperspatialWonder?
Hyperspatial wonder is the love of physical space we
found in a year when being somewhere never felt so
good.
Hyperspatial wonder is about seeing the powers of
space, how it can be transformed, how it can merge, not
be replaced by, the digital realm.
Hyperspatial wonder is recognising how the spaces
around us dramatically affect how we’re able to think,
feel and imagine.
But…
2022 was a year when space was also the source of
lingering anxiety for many in the events industries. This
anxiety is set to linger a while longer, into 2023 and
beyond.
The voice in the head has been on repeat:
“Can we be sure we’ll fill the space?”
“What sorts of spaces should we be making?”
“How can we hybridise and enhance the space to
ensure it gets filled?”
Hyperspatial wonder is also about knowing how to
adapt space to suit whatever the world might throw at it.
In short - hyperspatial wonder is exciting, resilient space.

Fractal Cafes
Magic Swings (and other mild hallucinations)
Wigglerooms
Prof. Richard Taylor, a professor of psychics, psychology and art at the University of
Oregon, researches the effects of fractal patterns on the human psyche. His
research has shown that the experience of seeing certain types of fractal patterns
induces the same eye movements that occur when we view a natural landscape.As
such, integrating fractals into our built environment can have a calming effect,
increasing concentration. Fractal spaces are endlessly complex, spaces that retreat
infinitely into the distance. Euclidean spaces can lead to visual strain and discomfort.
We predict that the spaces we assign to the consumption of food will become
increasingly fractal, bringing the calm of the natural world into any environment.
Optical illusions are revealing to neuroscientists what is truly special about the
human brain. According to Bruno Laeng, a professor at the Department of
Psychology of the University of Oslo: “Illusions were once interesting to
neuroscientists because they would reveal some kind of imperfection in the
machinery.” But this is not how they’re seen any more. Illusions show that we don’t
just dumbly record the world with our visual systems, but instead perform a
continuous set of scientific experiments in order to gain a slight evolutionary
advantage.
Our ability to be fooled by optical illusions sets us apart from the latest AI, and
from which AI can learn. Let us celebrate illusions as things that make us human.At
Bompas & Parr we envisage feasting in 2023 midst their trippy allure…
But space, of course, is also a source of anxiety as we settle into the post-covid
age. Filling space is far from guaranteed, and any space, however amazing, feels a
little underwhelming when half empty. In the future we’re going to see spaces that
expand and contract in line with the number of people present. We’ve seen this
underway in the craze for inflatable architecture, such as Space Busters, who hold
events in giant balloons inflated from the back of a van. Or, think of the trash
crusher in Star Wars, yet with great vibes (not cubes of space scrap) guaranteed.
Carousels of Conviviality
These future experimentations with non-linear spatiality in our food
experiences extends to the tables themselves.We predict an increased use
of carousel mechanisms in our dining, tables made of interlocking circles
that slowly but surely rotate, giving you a constantly shifting (and evolving)
array of dining companions. Social Lazy Susans, you might say.
10. Responsive dinners contain food that knows what you want, what’s out there and
what’s coming, before you do.
As AI technology advances, we’re seeing the greater possibility for “mixed reality”
food.This is food that is able to nourish and stimulate your taste buds, while also
adapting and changing instantaneously to the moment in which it’s being eaten.
Aerobanquets by multidisciplinary artist Mattia Casalegno exhibit food as a
protean, evolving stimulant - an experience that poses questions about the future
of dining experiences.
F A S T E R F O O D , F A S T E R .
Ultra-Topical Dining
It’s no secret that food is huge on TikTok, with food content having racked up a
whopping 268 billion views to date. And this is spurring TikTok to get involved,
launching a TikTok food shop where people will be able to buy fresh food off the
video sharing platform.* This relationship between food and TikTok is set to
continue and intensify, becoming more IRL.
We foresee the emergence of eateries whose menus evolve according to the
latest TikTok food trend. People would see it go viral online, then pop out to
sample it themselves mere hours later.
How about extend this to the 24 hour news cycle? What about a dining
experience where your food tells you the news, as it happens? How far can we
take this? Restaurants powered by burning the summons of overdue heating
bills… we’re all for it.
Telepathic Menus
As we know from Spotify, AI has made telepathy a “sort of” reality, with devices
predicting what we might like to listen to. It is only a matter of time before
restaurant outlets start employing similar algorithms to help us choose and
explore the food choices on offer.This is in line with much wider trends in hyper-
personalisation that are underway in F&B. Solo dining practices are up, as are
apps (such as ZOE) that suit your diet to your specific microbiome - an ecology
that is, we’re discovering, absolutely unique to you - a bacterial fingerprint.

12. Spectacular Supply Chains
At the start of 2021, the Ever Green container ship got stuck in the Suez canal,
throwing images of this tiny slip of water we depend on for our stuff to move
around the world. The Russian invasion of Ukraine thrust into the foreground
our dependence on not only Russian energy, but Ukrainian grain. Headlines
announcing huge mountains of grain backlogged in warehouses called our
attentions to the sublime masses of food stuffs heaved about the globe daily. All
this talk of the metaverse - our global interconnectedness is, in fact, deeply and
urgently material.
We predict that AR and other experiential innovations will be mobilised
to unlock the undeniably sublime spectacles of these supply chains. We
predict a steady convergence of “restaurants” with the “sports bar”,
where the standard (and often underwhelming) spectacle of the show
kitchen, is substituted by ultra-high definition, super slow motion,
insanely detailed story of how your food reached your plate. A
restaurant of that truly spectacularised supply.

15. In the US, the off-grid, survivalist real estate market is booming,
with estate agents like Survival Realty or Revolutionary Realty
catering to ‘preppers’ and ‘survivalists’ across the continent.
While these outlooks are often seen as belonging to the most
distant fringes of human society, it’s worth remembering that
the world’s richest and most powerful people are joining them
in their fallout preparation.
Elon Musk’s dreams of colonising Mars are only the start.The
luxury bunker market is taking off in the US and in Europe,
with anxiety over Russian nuclear weapons (and other forms
of weaponry), taking hold. There’s Rising S Bunkers in the
states. And there’s the ultra-luxury bunker company Oppidum
in the Czechia, providing ‘retreats that protect you from
physical dangers for as long as you need’.
In more ‘down-to-earth’ circles, glimmers of this survivalist
spirit can be detected in foraging and outward bound trends
have been in full swing for some time. At Bompas and Parr, we
ask, then, how long till this evolves into full on gastro
survivalism and what forms might this take?
We envision a world in which this sense of
“living in the end times” has greater and
greater influence on how we find creative
and communal satisfaction. This may sound
somewhat perverse.That’s because it is.
Gastro Survivalist Chic
16. Bunkercore
Cottagecore soldiers on. But keep on the lookout for the design elements of
bunkers and fallout shelters entering into our eating spaces.Things are going to
get increasingly subterranean, as the popularity rises for kinds of foods that are
built to last - bunker fermentation, high-end SPAM, canned foods.
Extreme Foraging
Foraging is currently a rather pleasant, whimsical activity for urban alternatives. Its
practice has the potential to become more and more challenge based. Let’s
prepare for foraging to become something like an endurance sport, not unlike
the craze for marathons, with extreme foraging camps popping up where you
have to find your dinner or, well, not eat.
Ration Book of Pleasure
Post-war rationing defined British cuisine (or lack of it) for generations. With
several squeezes to the purse strings underway, how might the ration book
concept be reinvented? Could there be a Ration Book of Pleasure, one that
prioritises pleasure, strategises joy, maps out revelry, rather than being associated
with ‘going without’.
Radical Brewing
How does the impending apocalypse affect our taste in beer? We predict the
eventual demise of the craft beer revolution, with a return to simpler, even
medieval style, beer drinking. Beer will be charged with botanicals, rather than
hops, with people turning to the medicinal power of herbs in their radicalised
brews.
ConspiracyTheory Cafés
It is not secret that social media is a hot bed of conspiratorial misinformation. According
to new research, conspiracy theorists are like addicts to a way of thinking known as
illusory pattern perception. Far from being illogical, fanatical nutcases, conspiracy theorists
are in fact suffering from an overdose of logic.What if we set up cafés in which conspiracy
theories were constantly being explored? What if these cafés were secretly set up by
GCHQ to recruit spies for infiltrating Russian intelligence?
For 96 percent of their time on Earth,humans have
sustained themselves by foraging,that is,by hunting
and gathering food from their natural environment.

17. Cooking with Sunshine
During the 2021 conflicts in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan/
Armenia, people started cooking with mirrored satellite dishes - solar ovens. In the
sunnier parts of the world,we expect to see this type of energy efficient cooking go from
strength to strength.
Backstreet Dining
Back in 2020, in the depths of Covid-19 social distancing, Bompas & Parr
launched DIY Decadence - radical strategies for pleasure and creativity at a time
of historical restriction. While those days are (hopefully) well behind us, we
predict a wave of ultra-obscure collective dining happenings, all taking place in
alleys and backstreets. Expect neon strip lights, plastic tables and wonderfully
economical but delicious grub.
19. Euphoric Foods
No - we don’t mean foods inspired by the smash hit HBO series Euphoria,
we mean something much more faithful to what this word - “euphoria” - has
meant as it has evolved over time. In Ancient Greece euphoros was used to
refer to a person or thing that held something well. People who danced
beautifully might be thought to carry the different parts of their bodies well.
Ships that safely carried their cargoes could also be judged in this way. Things
easy to carry or wear or manageable and light, qualities of richness and
manliness, a ready tongue, an ease of ability. Abundantly fertile animals and
plants.All could have euphoros.
In the 19th century, euphoria became a much more medicalised term,
referring to the elation, and sometimes deep pleasure, of recovering from an
illness or pain.According to Dr Christopher Milnes:
“Euphoria in European medical history
is part of what appears to be an abiding
wish – and one that probably extends
far beyond the history of this word – to
occasionally tell oneself that there is no
longer any need to worry.” *
We’re living at a time of catharsis, but not of excess.This is not the roaring
20s. In 2023, food experiences will be full euphoric - dopamine hits, chances
to let of steam, moments of collective joy that don’t involve immense
expenditure.
*The History of Emotions Blog,Dr Chrisopher Milnes 2019
20. Euphoric Foods
Post-Wellness
Post-wellness is on the rise, with young people exasperated by regimes of
avocados on toast and endless dawn yoga sessions. In it’s place is the
#nightluxe aesthetic - a trend that is the antithesis of the wellness-focused
green juice girl. The hashtag has amassed some 16m views on TikTok, with
glamorous bars, martinis, champagne, black satin, rhinestones reigning
supreme.The idea is to be decadent and to advertise it. Underneath it all is a
nostalgic lusting for a time before people cared about calories and
cholesterol. We predict this to build momentum, with post-wellness
continuing to take on the almighty monolith of the wellness industry in 2023.
Thoughtfully Un-thoughtful Food
People are thinking about how supposedly “unhealthy” foods are healthy in
other ways. In 2022, we saw KFC launch their Brainwave Bucket campaign in
Hong Kong, explicitly asking people to think less and indulge more.The KFC
bucket devices where designed to be worn on the head, with in-built sensors
visualising your brain activity while you enjoyed the fried chicken. The
brainwaves of comfort food were displayed, with people who embraced the
comfort being offered more chicken.
Transgressive with a Purpose
In October 2022, as part of London Cocktail Week, Bompas & Parr hosted an
unbridled celebration of queer history and innovation, Excalibur XO, at The
Standard, London in collaboration with Adam Zmith author of Deep Sniff: A
History of Poppers and Queer Futures. With pleasure at the forefront, the
studio launched the world’s first super premium poppers with curated
cocktail pairings. We expect to see more events arise that capture the
convergence of social enterprise with exceptional and thrilling design in the
imminent future.
Clubbing Canapés
We envisage clubs introducing the perfect on-the-dancefloor hors d’oeuvres,
with flavours and aromas enhancing feelings of euphoria, perfectly paired to
suit the body doing its thing.

23. Interspecies Eating
Of all the wonders AI has in store for us, the advancements in animal-
human communication are perhaps among the most exciting, and often
overlooked.The Californian non-profit Earth Species Project (ESP), is using
AI machine-learning to decode non-human communication - bringing the
enigma of whale song and other animal sounds one step closer to being
deciphered.
Now we have algorithms to analyse the grunts of pigs, to tell whether
they’re having a positive or negative experience. An app called
DeepSqueak uses similar tech to judge whether rodents are under stress.
More Dinners With And As Dogs
Advances in animal communication are only going to boost the booming
trend of dining with one’s dog, that’s due to further establish itself in our
culinary habits over 2023. Google searches for places to dine out in
London with our furry friends are on the rise. Super-premium dog food
companies are also seeing increased popularity - allowing buyers to
personalise and enhance their canine cuisine.
At Bompas & Parr we predict the next stage in this is dining as your dog -
using AR and prosthetic devices to attune dog lovers to the sensual world
- or umwelt - of their pets. The world of smell is, for dogs, the most
important world of all.This will be accompanied by a greater appreciation
of dog’s smell - integrating ‘smell walks’ into a well looked after pooch’s
routine.
Pet Longevity
The Dog Ageing Project is making strides in extending the lives of our
beloved animals. 40,000 dogs are currently involved in the study, trialling
life-span-extending drugs that could, one day, also be used on humans.
One drug, Rapamycin has already been used to give flies and mice longer
lives in the lab. Dogs are next: ‘it’s really just a matter of showing it in
clinical trials’, says Matt Kaeberlein, director of the study.

of UK dog owners kiss their dogs.

to admit it!)
[Sources::YouGov and studyfinds.org]
Defiant Luxury
At Bompas & Parr we see this rising dog dining trend as part of a more
general subversion of luxury dining, something that is no longer necessarily
a group activity. Whether it’s with your Pomeranian, or totally alone, there
are emerging modes of luxury dining that are defiantly solitary. In 2023 we
predict meals for one - out or at home - to become increasingly
premiumised. We often talk of future luxury being collectivised. But, as
“luxury” as a category becomes ever more craft-based, acts that emphasise
refined, solo appreciation will also flourish.

27. Deeper Into the Network
That the ethics industry is big business these days is by no means a secret.
Ethical eating has for sometime been a major driver in mainstream consumer
choice, with people prepared to spend a premium on produce that may taste
no different, but is sourced sustainably. Environmental and social justice
concerns are a well established factor in our culinary habits, alongside taste
and wellbeing.
As consumers become wise to the wider impacts of their food choices,
however, they are too waking up to the phenomena of “greenwashing” and
micro-consumerist guilt tripping. People are looking beyond the endless cycles
of “must-have” ethical buys, looking instead towards genuinely climatarian
habits.With this, we’re seeing glimmers of the old vocabulary of ethical eating
starting to falter. Veganism and vegetarianism, while still going strong, are no
longer the failsafe ethical dietary choices.
There’s an emergence of what can be called “expanded
network thinking” - what, in any meaningful ecological sense, is
the difference between a cabbage and a chicken?
BovineAbsolutionism
There is no doubt - the meat industry - the beef industry in particular - is
environmentally devastating, for reasons that are well known. And yet, what
are we to do with the over 1.5 billion cows that are estimated to live on this
earth? There are movements trying to radically rethink our relationship to
cows, rather than eliminate our eating of them altogether. With this we’re
discovering the often overlooked gifts humanity has received from cows over
the years. The first vaccine was, after all, from milkmaids milking cows, who
were, they discovered, immune to small pox as a result of their exposure to
cowpox.The world vaccine has its route in the word vache, the French word
for cow. We envisage a more nuanced ethical approach to food, which sees
systems, not the products they distribute, as the problems that need solving.

culinary adventures. Jellyfish are, for example, a seriously sustainable
food choice of this moment in time - a foodstuff we predict to go
viral in 2023.The last few years have been full of reports of climate
change causing jellyfish blooms in the Mediterranean, clogging up
power plants.The waters around the British Isles are seeing record
numbers of jellyfish. At a time when over-fishing is devastating
