Whybin TBWA Australia and The Sydney International Food Festival cooked up a clever way to promote last year’s fest — they used iconic foods from the participating countries to recreate their flags. From the green-white-red of basil-spaghetti-tomatoes to the orange-white-green of tikka masala-rice-saag, the results are both appetizing and a little reminiscent of middle-school geography class. Which brings us to our challenge: Can you correctly identify these 12 culinary flags?
The Flickr pool from our favorite all-purpose food blog Serious Eats has some of the best amateur porn on the Web, but this submission is too much. Forgetting lighting and composition, the model here (which according to the caption is a shaved ice garnished with red bean, matcha, mochi, and fruit, with condensed milk) just doesn’t belong in front of a camera. What other lurid grub shots have you come across lately? More importantly, has anyone sampled this dish at IPPUDO? Maybe it tastes better than it looks?
