Revitalize Foodservice with Mix and Match Meal Components To Drive Sales




 “Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian, wine and tarragon make it French, sour cream makes it Russian, lemon and cinnamon make it Greek, soy sauce makes it Chinese, garlic makes it good.” Is a quote from Alice May Brock 

Mix and match meal components have become the invitation for dinner  according to Foodservice Solutions®, Grocerant Guru® Steven Johnson. Convenient meal participation, differentiation and individualization; are each hallmarks of the Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared grocerant niche.


When consumers are asking What’s for Dinner it’s meal components that allow customers to select from Italian, American, French, Russian or Greek to customize and personalize a family meal quickly. Consumers can mix and match, utilizing the components at home any way they like.  

The new American meal more likely than not is a composite of prepared food components that the individual may want that can mix and pair them any way at any time.  The United States is a melting pot of people from all over the world, with different cultures, traditions and flavor preferences.  The new American meal is a melting pot of flavor and choice.  Meal components that can be mix and matched for home consumption are integral to retail success.
