Delicious Looking Vietnamese-Style Coffee on a Stick Popsicle

For hopefully a long Summer, YumSugar describes how to make these deliciously cooling coffee popsicles.

Using Vietnamese-style coffee - with sweetened condensed milk and strong coffee, (traditionally served over ice), its simple to make. This is one way to have a hot drink, cool.

Splash Shaped Dipping Bowls

Ooh, I like these interesting looking bowls! They’re Splash Dipping Bowls by Akimasa Yamada.

A splash was the design inspiration for this dipping bowl set, which is ideal for serving sauces, with a rest for chopsticks. They’re made of porcelain and come in a set of three, as you can see.

Strawberries That Taste Like Chocolate

Here’s an interesting food technology with potential for creating food with supplements to get your RDA’s. I also see potential for some concealed hi-tech food pranks! Read on..

Strawberry-Chocolate

These strawberries are actually composites of chocolate and berries created by an infusion technology, adapted for produce by a company called FCOM (Fresh Functional Food Composite).

They create them first by freeze-drying the fruit, removing water components, and then sinking chocolate in between its fibers. In the cross section above, the inner part of the strawberry is actually laced with white chocolate.

It’s a technique commonly used in industrial manufacturing for fusing metals. The strawberries are just for fun, but the company’s hoping to apply the same strategies to create vitamin-infused fruits and mineral-infused rice for youngsters and elderlies reluctant to get their nutrition otherwise.

Korean Snacks : Silkworm Pupae

“Literally meaning pupa or chrysalis, beondegi are popular Korean street snacks, often dished out by the cupful to eager passers-by.

“The stewed and seasoned silkworm treats come highly recommended as bar bites. Next time you crave a quick mouthful on the go, grab a can of these crunchy chrysalises.”

Someone tell me these aren’t real!!

Pessimistic Fortune Cookies

Think twice before you assume that the fortune you’re about to find in your cookie is a vague, sugar-coated cliché.

Wonton Food, who produce about 4.5 million cookies a day have “enriched” their catalog of fortunes with some slightly more downbeat advice.

Pessimistic-Fortune

Today is a disastrous day. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” reads one fortune whilst another advises “It’s over your head now. Time to get some professional help”.

One blogger, who got the “professional help” fortune, wrote: “I shot the audacious baked item a dirty look and proceeded to eat it. And I hope it hurt.

Bernard Chow, marketing coordinator at Wonton Food, says he had not set out to insult anybody when he asked his team of freelance writers to come up with some new messages.

We wanted our fortune cookies to be a little bit more value-added,” Mr. Chow said. “We wanted to get some different perspective, to write something that is more contemporary.”

WOW - where can I get some!?
