The best and worst in food trends last year

From Epicurious, this year's best and worst food and beverage trends of 2005. The best of the best, IMHO:

The worst of the worst:

Edible Menus: Another spawn-of-Ferran phenomenon, menus printed on edible paper just seem silly, though we suppose astronauts and mountain climbers might appreciate light, foldable gourmet meals-on-the-go.
