Food Art

[mollyanne]

Okay Foodies! Anyone have any pics of food art they've created or have experienced? Or do you have any pics to share just for fun or to get our creative juices flowing? Or maybe just describe what you saw or have created yourself.

I didn't create the Food Art pictured below but I just thought they were awesome and wanted to share.

Bento Lunch Box Art

There are oodles of images on Flickr with bento lunch box art. I dream of the kind of time some of the people take to make such pretty lunches. I cannot complain though. Although they are not "art", I usually have my lunches made by Frank and they are really yummy!

Yes, Bento boxes are certainly amazing. Tokyo is listed as one of the top ten cities worldwide for foodies according to msnbc:
"
Tokyo
Grab your chopsticks and go to town on the freshest sushi around – accompanied by the finest sake, of course. From beautifully displayed sashimi, sushi, and tempura, to succulent skewers of yakitori (barbeque-dipped grilled chicken) – best washed down with ji-biru (Japanese beer) – to hefty bowls of delicious yaki-udon (stir-fried noodles), and French-influenced meals of caviar and foie gras, Tokyo’s cuisine provides a Zen-like eating experience indeed. Case in point: The Kaiseki Feast, a traditional 14-course tasting menu of fresh fish, tofu, hand-made noodles, and local produce, is offered at various restaurants. And, thanks to Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji Market (one of the world’s largest fish markets), some 3000 tons of fresh catch is doled out daily which, fortunately, can be sampled at any of the city’s countless restaurants.

Might I suggest you wrap your body in spaghetti and take a pix... I think that would solve the problem...

 

[mollyanne]

^ No problem, wrapping myself in spaghetti sounds like fun, mimiz...
...but I don't think you'd see the plate if I sat on it like she does

Here's one I thought was creative...c'mom, it's ART!
