One Tasty Summer: Fancy Food Show Offers Tasty, Unconventional Treats

June 30, 2010 — -- It's summer, and that means sun, fun and good eats.

But if you've got a hankering for more than just hot dogs and barbecue, we've got a treat for you. Take your palate from blah to wow with some of the sumptuous treats that were showcased at the Summer Fancy Food Show.

Organized by the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, the 56th annual summer food show was held at the Jacob Javis Convention Center in New York City.

More than 2,500 exhibitors from 81 nations gathered from Sunday through Tuesday to display more than 180,000 specialty foods -- among them cheeses, coffees, spices, ethnic, natural and organic products.

"Good Morning America's" food editor Sara Moulton scoured the seven acres of exhibits at the show. Moulton, a TV chef and author, appeared today on the show to talk about the top trends, which included gluten-free, fair trade and flavors from India.

Then there's the cheese with the colorful name: Caveman Blue. From the Rogue Creamery in Oregon, this cheese has a hint of butterscotch flavor, and it's sweet and fruity.
