The Mona Lisa recreated exclusively from vegetables and grains. Don't be surprised if Buzzfeed readers start asking hairdressers for “the limp noodle” look. It flatters her, no?
Food Buzz Foodies and agricultural evangelists are calling for a Secretary of Food, or at least a Secretary of Agriculture who understands how screwy our food/farm industry is. Michael Pollan is the obvious choice, but he and his farm-to-table buddies also have a list of government-friendly possibilities for your consideration. I am behind anyone who will push for real sugar (instead of corn sugar) in my Coke; it just tastes better.
A photo of a wedding cake made with avocado, edamame, wasabi, raw salmon, tuna and roe. Topped with wasabi icing and drizzled in soy sauce, it still sounds…kind of unappetizing.
Tech Buzz Thu Tran, a glass-blower in Brooklyn, hosts a cooking show that’s a mix between Rachael Ray and Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse. Of course, we’re more interested in the technicolor puppets than the food (not that that’s a bad thing).
Food Buzz Nintendo Wii is releasing a cooking game that’s like a virtual Iron Chef. Gordon Ramsay has his own online game, complete with bleeps. Pixelated food will undoubtedly taste than our actual cooking.
Food Buzz Along similar lines as the infamous Harry Potter jelly beans, these disgustingly-flavored jelly beans come in a box mixed with the regular flavors. We’re not sure why anyone would eat these, but we might consider it if there was a Kinko’s flavor. Mmmm, office supplies!
Food Buzz Camel’s milk cheese is making its way to the US. Pretentious cheese snobs will be marveling at the “understated barnyard undertones” which sounds disgusting yet exotic at the same time.
Food Buzz The Jewish community is torn over whether a kosher cheeseburger being served at a NYC restaurant should be considered sacrilegious. We can think of more sacrilegious ways to consume cheeseburgers, both gastronomically and spiritually. (See cheeseburger in a can and the McDonald’s cheeseburger pizza.)
