The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Here at Foodiggity, playing with your food is certainly encouraged — especially when it’s used to recreate famous works of art.
Russian food stylist and photographer Tatiana Shkondina is the kind of food-player we like. She creates her own works of food art with famous paintings as her inspiration.
Van Gogh’s Starry Night is recreated deliciously with blueberries and dark rice, while the symmetry of Mondrian is displayed in watermelon, cheese, and yogurt. See more below.
Artist Massimo Gammacurta works brilliantly with many different mediums. But his most interesting and enticing work appears to be in candy.
Enter, Kamasugar — a series of sugar sculptures formed into a number of sex positions. A stick is inserted [hee-hee] into the vibrantly-colored sculptures, making them the most erotic lollipops possible. NSFW lollies below.

Sure, ramen is easy enough to make… unless you’re looking for a crocheted version. That might take a bit more than 99-cents and some hot water.
That’s where this tutorial by YouTuber betibettin comes in. The noodles themselves are pretty self-explanatory… however he also creates all the yummy complements to your ramen that you couldn’t afford in college. Enjoy.
Steve Casino is a ‘painter of nuts.’ And, rather than squandering his talent on walnut landscapes or abstract cashews, Casino puts it to use creating celebrity peanuts.
Casino hand-paints anyone from Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Lee, and Hulk… recreating the subject’s likeness to perfection, while adding equally disproportionate limbs. So much better then tacky walnuts.

Artist James Ostrer recently created a series of grotesque portraits titled Wotsit all about — covering models with various forms of junk food.
Presented as a commentary on the dangerous methods of mass food production and our sugar obsession, Osterer takes advantage of the vibrant artificial colors of various junk foods and candies to create very bright and creepy portraits. See more of the project here.
