The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Montreal-based artist Olivier Lefebvre recently paid homage to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, by creating a portrait using 3750 apples. And before anyone starts crying “food waste”, the mosaic consists of deer apples — meaning that they’ve already fallen from the tree, and started to decay. You learn something new every day here.

What appears at first glance to be a traditional Irish breakfast, is actually a plate of sweet treats. Created by Vicky McDonald of S’tasty, nothing is as it seems — starting with the sunny-side up fried egg (panna cotta and lemon curd), bacon (candied brandy snaps), black pudding (chocolate biscuit cake), hash browns (panko brioche jam sandwich) and more. Breakfast dessert is served.
Recipes for each item can be found here and here.

Jell-O asks that if you own an iPhone, that you jiggle it, even if just for a little bit. Jell-O Jiggle-It is a new iPhone app that fills a need not fully realized. Simply choose a flavor, hit play on any song in your iTunes library, and a cube of your chosen Jell-O will dance to the beat. Shake it Lime Green!

Artist Eric Barclay takes ordinary food packaging, and breathes life into them with some hand painting. Whether a Coffee-Mate container, or Diet Coke can, Barclay creates three-dimensional versions of his unmistakable characters. He even finds a use for French’s Mustard — impressive.
If I only had a cupcake brain.
Poor little YumBot. As cute as can be, with his blank stare and large swiveling head. But this YumBot is missing something, as he’s meant to be filled with batter, and baked to form a little cupcake brain.
But please, do not make the cupcake mix too advanced, as our little baked friends may eventually develop self-awareness and kill us all.
Until then, YumBots are here to serve, and available at the Foodiggity Shop. Four ‘Bots’ in four assorted colors.
