Shrimp hearts – Simple makes the difference
I know I’ve said it before about how a simple smiley face added to the top of a dish can make it 10x more appealing.
The rice beneath those shrimp tastes good, but it looks boring. The shrimp is pretty boring, too, really, but it doesn’t matter. Make it look like a heart and suddenly an 8-year-old romantic is swooning. Dangle shrimp from edges and it’ll blow the mind of a borderline OCD child who ponders if it’s okay for the food to be on the outside.
Prepare four bowls in identical ways and watch the Libra in me twitch that they’re not -quite- identical. Before moving the out-of-sync bowl, I had the girls look to see which one didn’t look the same. Even putting this picture on the site makes me delete, reupload, delete, reupload, delete, reupload slightly uncomfy because while I don’t mind if pictures look messy, out of focus, etc, I crave balance.
Hmm. Maybe I’m that borderline OCD child referenced above. :P
Buying fresh vs store bought – Pink vs brown paste
Which one of those looks more appetizing? If you’re a vegetarian or weirded out by raw meat, your opinion doesn’t count. :P Maybe “which one looks more real?” is the better question. You should be able to click the picture to get a larger view, but if not, here’s the link.
Either way, I couldn’t help but snap this picture of sauage one morning. I’d just had a fresh hog butchered, but wanted to finish up some already purchased sausage that I had, so I was going to combine the two.
It was really hard to want to eat the storebought paste after not only see how drastically different the colors were, but also that the glue on the right is roughly the same color as my kitchen counter. I don’t think that’s normal, heh.
Meat-copia – Cornucopia made out of sausages, pepperoni, bacon
The site refers to it as a bacon-copia, so you could go with that instead.
Really, it’s a bacon horn stuffed with 20 hot Italian sausages, 4 pork chops, 1 black pudding sausage, 1 white pudding sausage, 1 pound of scrapple (I didn’t even know what that was before now), pepperoni, and salami.
Awesomeness.
