Following the news that food bank use in the UK has reached its highest rate since records began last month, we got to thinking about how food is changing in our society. The previous year has seen a 13% increase of emergency supplies being delivered since the previous year. We won\u2019t get bogged down in the politics of it but increasing living costs due to inflation is certainly a large factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Since fast-food\u2019s rise to ascension, people\u2019s relationship to food is changing. The appeal of spending an hour or more prepping and cooking food has dwindled when you know you can get a meal in minutes down the road. We\u2019re also often strapped for time. As a result, there\u2019s been a surge in convenience foods: Microwave burgers, noodles, ready meals, these offer the convenience of fast-food at often even lower prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s one convenience food in particular that we want to talk about: tinned food. Tinned food is often always cheap and easy to use. We\u2019ve already seen entire meals in tins before and you may have avoided these like the plague. But the reality is, there are lots of people that rely on them to get by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The long-life and low prices of tinned food also mean they feature heavily in food banks. As the rate of food bank usage appears to be climbing, we thought about what tinned food could look like in the future. As people are being priced out of food, could this be where we are headed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took some different cuisines and imagined what they would look like if they were condensed down to fit in a tin. Would you eat any of these?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, we\u2019re going down under. For our Aussie meal, we\u2019ve got a barbecue-in-a-tin featuring burgers, shrimps and beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chinese<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the nation\u2019s favourite takeaways. Chinese cuisine is adored here in the UK but is a luxury that more and more people are not able to afford. How about tinned Chinese food? You\u2019re probably going to want to exercise caution with this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a curry? Could you eat a tinned curry though?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fish n\u2019 Chips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fish n\u2019 Chips. The national dish. It\u2019s simple and delicious. What about when you put it in a tin? We\u2019re not too sure about the look of those mushy peas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mexican<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This one\u2019s not that far of a stretch. Tinned chilli con carne is readily available in loads of stores. Another one we\u2019d tread carefully around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Italian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Show this to an Italian and they might actually break down in tears. The tin does no favours for the beautiful Italian foods that we know and love. Lasagne, pizza and ice cream. Delicious. All at once? We\u2019ll let you be the judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Japanese<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Raw fish from a tin. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tinned<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Could this be where food is headed? It may not happen quite to this extent, but it is undeniable that convenience foods are on the rise whilst our food budgets are thinning up. Just look at how many people rely on food banks. What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
