Waitrose launches 100 new products and they're oh-so-middle class
The upper echelons of society used to be found at debutante balls and charity polo matches. Now, you need only venture to your local Waitrose. And as summer approaches, the supermarket is catering for the beau monde with a new summer range of 148 delightfully unnecessary but divine-sounding food offerings. Perhaps the most notable is its Tipple Toppers, for the wine you'll be sipping as you lounge on your John Lewis garden furniture. The packet contains pitted green and black olives, dry cured pork salami, Ibérico cheese, pickled gherkins and tomato and herb baked bruschetta, all designed to be balanced on top of a glass. God forbid you mistake it for bog standard antipasti… 'Pour a chilled glass of your favourite wine and pop your mini grazing board on top,' the supermarket says. Plates are clearly not à la mode anymore. It comes with an £8 price tag, although there's an introductory offer of £6.40. In the pudding aisle, you'll find Peach Melba Jelly for a humble £4.95. The peach jelly with raspberries and peach pieces is a nod to the dessert invented back in 1892 by French chef Auguste Escoffier at the Savoy Hotel. Apparently a 'taste of sunshine in every spoonful', the dessert has an introductory offer price of £3.70, and there's a Peach Melba Ice Cream available too. If you're attending a rip-roaring summer bash with the upper crust, you'll want to avoid whipping out a bottle of Sprite for a mixer. God no. Instead, pick yourself up a bottle of Waitrose Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit Still Lemonade – if it's effervescent, you'll be turned away at the door (unless it's champagne). It's also completely unacceptable to get a ham and cheese meal deal. Instead you should spend £4.95 on the Waitrose No. 1 Mortadella & Ricotta Sandwich – we doubt we'd be disappointed though. The supermarket does do picky bits brilliantly, and there's no shortage of options to make the ultimate grazing board. From Raw Red Shrimp & Monkfish with Pil Pil Butter (£10) to a Calabrian Charcuterie & Parmigiano Reggiano Platter (£6) – you're sorted. Or why not opt for the No.1 Egyptian Monastery Olives and the Caramelised Onion Pork Cocktail Sausages? Yes, we're drooling too, but get your handkerchief, wipe it away and tell us which sumptuous offerings will you be putting in your basket. While these offerings all sound amazing (and posh), the supermarket knows its shoppers. At the end of last year, Waitrose revealed its customers' favourite purchases by month, with bone broth (made trendy by Gwyneth Paltrow) and Pomegranate, Rose & Preserved Lemon Harissa sauce being popular buys. More Trending Sake, the ancient Japanese rice wine, was the most searched for item in May, while June saw pickle juice flying off the shelves. Bacchus wine, spotted dick and blackberry cobbler were also popular with the elite's taste buds. View More » This, my friends, is how the other half live.

Falcone Chefs Roberta de Sario and Josh Stumbaugh of Falcone.

The new restaurant is decked out in the same maximalist, mid-1970s Italian decor, with a menu featuring exclusive dishes such as tuna and basil strozzapreti and salsiccia e zucca pizza, alongside crowd favourites like pacchianella, and it's all molto bene.

Photo: O'Thai New to Hung Hom, this Thai eatery offers street-food-inspired grub with stunning harbour views. Led by Wijannarongk Kunchit, a Thai chef with more than 30 years of experience, the restaurant serves dishes such as Ibérico pork neck, crabmeat in egg cream curry and dry-aged Wagyu bavette with red or green curry, which are both – like much else on the menu – seasoned with the perfect amount of kick. Shop G1, One Harbourfront, 18 Tak Fung Street, Hung Hom MOMA Moma features a rare, spacious patio in the middle of Soho. Photo: Gavin Yeung With its tastefully minimalist interiors and that rarest of commodities – a spacious patio in the middle of SoHo – MOMA is a welcome slice of Scandi-inspired hospitality. The cafe-eatery serves mainstays of Nordic cuisine such as Danish tebirkes pastries, Norwegian fiskesuppe, smørrebrød open-faced sandwiches and more, making it the perfect spot to sup a quick fika while people-watching.
