The city in the West of England is being over-run with street art featuring food-stuffs such as quinoa, pesto and rioja, in a change from typical graffiti such as gang tags and rude images.

One local, Joe Sims, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''It is perfectly Bristolian and in keeping with the urban gentrification of the area ... Maybe it will take over postcode rivalry.''

The strange ''grafoodie'' trend has even led to the hashtag #middleclassgraffiti trending on Twitter.
