SAUSAGE AND JAM

There’s something about another human growing inside of them, that wreaks havoc on a pregnant woman’s food cravings. Eating For Two is a cookbook that’s all about these odd meals.

Not only does the project focus on actual food cravings from participating pregnant women — but they style the Bacon Mars Bar Burger and Toothpaste Oreos as if they’re gourmet, and provide the recipe for each. Just in case you’re with human.

Gourmet Mouse Traps, A Photo Series For The Finicky Rodent

gourmet-mouse-traps-7

If Tom and Jerry has taught us anything, it’s that a mouse can be lured from its hiding spot with virtually any small piece of cartoon cheese. That is unless you have a finicky critter taking residence in your walls, who’ll only come out for the good stuff.

Gourmet Mouse Traps, by artists Davide Luciano and Claudia Ficca, is a fun photo series that uses some enticing food items as a lure for your most finicky mice.

No rodent will be able to resist these gourmet traps… They should be stopping by shortly for some fine dining, and to have their little foodie neck snapped.

Kung Pao McNuggets and Other Fancy Meals Made With McDonald’s Menu Items

Creating upscale menu items with lowly McDonald’s ingredients is nothing new — but Kung Pao McNuggets are involved here.

A few NYC chefs were recently invited to an upscale event, where they were given the challenge of creating gourmet meals using McDonald’s. The results, as you might expect, are an interesting mix of surprisingly edible-looking meals, to putting lipstick on a pig.
