As a new year approaches, experts have some thought on what will be the hottest new food trends in the upcoming year.

The people at purewow.com predicts there are going to be foods that step up to the plate to be the hottest foods of the upcoming year. Here are a few examples of what to expect in 2016.

All about the vegetables. The experts think that veggies will be featured, and options like cauliflower steak could find it's way to a menu near you.

Fried chicken. Yep, good old fried chicken will have a good year, due to all the "fast casual" fried chicken options now available.

Spicy! The experts expect a spicy 2016 with Indian ghost pepper as one of the flavors that will take center stage.

Let me see if I have this right...cauliflower steak and fried chicken on the same list? Add a dash of spicy and it's starting to taste like 2016 around here! If these don't appeal to you, you've got two weeks to eat as much 2015 as possible!
