Seems as with fashion ,certain foods are destined to become fads and invariably these fads repeat themselves over time. Sometimes it's a group of foods,more recently there was a resurgence of "comfort foods",the old time favorites being macaroni and cheese,meatloaf,although mashed potatoes seem to have always hung in there.
Recently, in some cooking magazines I perused while on holiday I saw that fondues are making a comeback. I remember back in the '60's when fondue parties were all the rage and if I dug around enough in my mother's shed I could have probably found a vintage fondue pot.
Some food fads I don't recall having been popular before,"the wrap" for instance ,seems to be a recent innovation (even though we know it's been around hundreds of years in certain cultures).
