Waitrose Sees Rise in Winter Comfort Foods

Waitrose Sees Rise in Winter Comfort Foods

Shoppers are turning away from summer salads in favour of hearty meals despite ongoing heatwaves.

Waitrose has noted a surprising shift in consumer habits, with customers seeking out wintry comfort food even as heatwaves persist. The supermarket suggests that the typical summer diet is losing its appeal.

According to a report by The Grocer, the retailer believes shoppers are suffering from feta fatigue. This trend indicates a decline in the popularity of standard summer salads in favour of more substantial, warming dishes.
