Brooklynese Kitchenware

Brooklynese-Kitchenware-1

Before Brooklyn was known as the land of artisanal marmalades and organic rooftop gardens, the other borough’s claim to fame was its unique brand of modified English. Enter Brooklynese Kitchenware by Fishs Eddy, which has a little fun with native Brooklynites’ aversion to the letter R.

Whether you take your “cawffee,” with or without “shuguh,” the vessels spell out their contents phonetically for the R-impaired. The kitchenware is made of high-fired ceramic and available individually or in a gift box set.

And, for more fun kitchenware, check us out at The Foodiggity Shop. We’re located in New Jersey, where we always pronounce everything correctly.

Hipster Dust, A Spice Blend For When You Need a Dash of Pretentiousness

hipster-dust

Something called Hipster Dust exists, and it’s as magically pretentious as it sounds. The ‘dust’ is a mixture of various spices “to flavor vegetables, soups, noodles and everything else.” So, let’s review its hipsterness, shall we? Created in Williamburg, Brooklyn — check. Vegan — obvs. Monochromatic minimalist packaging — done and done. Seems pretty legit.

Hipster Dust is available for $5 per 2oz. tin. Sprinkle some on your vegan brunch or random kale-based dish. Then wash it down with a PBR, or whatever you’ve been drinking since before it was cool.

The Bensonhurst Spelling Bee

To help perpetuate Italian stereotypes further, Funny or Die brings us The Bensonhurst Spelling Bee. Starring Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Ripa, and moderated by none other than the typecasted Lorraine Bracco and Tony Sirico — Brooklyn youth are asked to spell various Italian foodstuffs, with embarrassing results.

And thank you Funny or Die for leaving New Jersey out of this. I think we’ve suffered enough.

Candy Corn Bagels Exist

Just in time for Halloween, and some sort of bagel apocalypse we weren’t aware of, someone found a use for candy corns and put them in a bagel. The Candy Corn Bagel is the creation of the Bagel Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

And yes, the recipe includes actual candy corns — giving the near donut its signature fluorescent orange hue, and the inevitable regret felt after eating one.
