I am a fan of some Asian food, at least when it’s been Americanized. I am not such a fan of some of the strange foods served in Japan, they seem rather gross to me. Case in point: McDonald’s in Japan is set to roll out a new milkshake for fall that is called Purple Sweet Potato, or at least that is what the name translates too.

I like sandwiches with crunchy and toasty bread. Take a nice grilled cheese for instance, it’s great when the bread is crispy and the cheese is hot, but wait a few minutes and you end up with a soggy coagulated mess of bread and cheese.

Would you eat your own face? It sounds like an odd question, grotesque even, but it’s not what you think. It’s something that Vermont Novelty Toaster Corporation wants you to do every day with your daily cup of Joe.

I’d have to be really hungry and desperate to eat bugs. For instance, I would gladly lick that gross jelly goo from the inside of a tin of Spam before I would eat a bug. If you want a really gross gift to give someone as a gag, ThinkGeek has a new Edible Bugs Gift pack.

We’ve seen 3D printers make chocolate, pizza, pasta and more. Here’s one that prints fruits. Or rather, “fruits.” Developed by English company Dovetailed, the printer uses drops of fruit juice to form food using a culinary process called spherification.

Last year we found out about TellSpec, a portable scanner that can identify the composition of food as well as provide nutritional data. A company called ConsumerPhysics is raising funds for SCiO, which works similarly to TellSpec but seems to be more versatile.

If you have lots of leftovers around your house that you want to save, be it plates of food or fruit you didn’t finish, you are provably adept at using foil or plastic wrap to keep it fresh.

Wow. Everything nasty that a unicorn does, looks so pretty. We have seen sparkly rainbow unicorn poop before, but it turns out that their barf is just as festive and colorful, plus it’s edible.

Can’t decide what to cook for dinner tonight? Well, if you like Super Mario Bros., burgers and bacon you might want to try a couple of delicious Koopa Troopa burgers.

Going to the grocery store is a pain in the butt for many people. It’s hard to keep track of just what you are spending without resorting to using a calculator. If you have kids, that opens another world of issues when shopping.

Whoever said that food and fashion don’t mix obviously haven’t seen these dainty and appetizing hats by MaorZabar Hats. Granted, the concept is strange and a bit far out, but the execution is just gorgeous.

Eating a slice of pizza on the go isn’t the neatest option on the menu. But it’s technically a quick meal on the go, and if you’ve gotta eat, you gotta eat. Aiming to make eating pizza less of a mess is KonoPizza.

Ride a bike, slice a pizza. You won’t be able to do this on a regular bike, but you will be able to do so using one of these clever bicycle wheel pizza cutters. Your fingers will be the ones doing the riding though, unless you’re the size of Alice after she drank the potion from the bottle with the “Drink Me” label.

I’m sure that you have been sitting in the office or at home, at some point and decided to order up some take out for lunch. The problem with many eateries at lunch time is that they are so busy you end up waiting forever for someone to pick up the phone, only to be greeted by a harried worker that often messes up your order.

Here’s another way to capitalize on social media: make snack foods inspired by social media elements like emoticons and hashtags. That’s what Birds Eye Foods UK did with their latest offering called Mashtags.

Jewelry inspired by food is nothing new, but Tiny Hands took things one step further by adding another dimension to their necklaces: the delicious smell of breakfast.
