If not for the awful paper cuts that would ensue, we’d totally eat these Paper Meals by yelldesign.

Veg of the Day — an awesome papercraft series by artist Polly Lindsay — is certainly nice enough when viewing straight-on. However, it isn’t until we catch a side view, that we realize what makes this project special.

BBQ is a beautiful work of papercraft by creative studio Zim & Zou. From paper kabobs and sausages, to steak and condiments, Zim & Zou created an inedible feast that’ll make you want to strap on a bib and dig in. Please use the paper one.
