The [Baltic Travel Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baltic-80-caf-racer) has created a chart that catalogs the best and most popular national foods from around the world to make your ordering decisions easier. Surprisingly, the foods that are depicted in the chart are not actually real and were created using plasticine. They are extremely realistic and give viewers a sense of the world’s cultures. Each dish is complemented with its name and a brief description of what it is underneath it -- in case you don't speak every language. Some of the dishes include mussels and fries (Moules Frites) from Belgium and Couscous from Morocco. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Realistic Food Replicas:** Opportunity for companies to create realistic replicas of food items for promotional or educational purposes. - **Global Food Culture:** Opportunity for companies to explore and highlight the diverse food cultures around the world through innovative mediums. - **Multilingual Food Communication:** Opportunity for companies to develop multilingual communication tools to enhance understanding and appreciation of diverse food cultures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Manufacturing:** Companies in the food manufacturing industry can create realistic replicas of their products to showcase quality and uniqueness. - **Travel and Tourism:** The travel and tourism industry can use innovative mediums like this chart to promote cultural experiences and attract more tourists. - **Language Translation:** Language translation companies can develop effective tools to accurately communicate food culture across language barriers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hyperrealistic Food Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Travel-Inspired Snack Chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seven-continents-snacks.md) - [Globally Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jetlato.md) - [Playful Restaurant Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-of-imagination.md) - [Global Flavor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-world-heist-menu.md) - [Felt-Made Novelty Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourdon-street-chippy.md) - [Canadiana QSR Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadiana-donut-menu.md) - [Food Appreciation Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-thing-ny-heart.md)
