Susana Soares druckt für ihre Installation Insects Au Gratin Kekse aus zermahlenen Insekten. Yummy! Die Dame zeigt ihren Keksdrucker noch bis zum 5. Mai in der Wellcome Collection in London.
Edible insects are dried and grinded into powder. The insect flour is mixed with icing butter, cream cheese or water, gelling agent and flavouring to form the right consistency to go through the nozzle. The food aesthetics are designed previously, 3D printed and ready to eat or cooked.

Makr Shakr: Industrial Robot Cocktail-Maker
Drei Industrie-Roboter machen Cocktails, die man sich per Mobile App selber mixen kann. Der Makr Shakr stand grade als Testversion auf der Milan Design Week und wird nächsten Monat auf der Google I/O vorgestellt.
Created as a collaboration between MIT Sensible Lab, Pentagram and SuperUber, Makr Shakr is a robotic bar, capable of preparing approximately one googol (equal to 10 power 100) crowd-sourced drink combinations. […]
Users download an app on their handheld devices and mix ingredients as virtual barmen. They can gain inspiration by viewing other users’ recipes and comments before sending in their drink of choice. The cocktail is then crafted by three robotic arms, whose movements reproduce every action of a barman – from the shaking of a Martini to the muddling of a Mojito, and even the thin slicing of a lemon garnish.

Cuisine with Marijuana and Magic Truffles
Youtube Direktmagic, danke Philip!
Das hier ist zwar Werbung und das auch noch für ein Modelabel, aber wenn beides mit einem Kochbuch inklusive Koch-Videos und Rezepten zu solchen Sachen wie Marijuana Ravioli, Hashish Capuccino oder Kalbfleisch mit Magic Truffles und Zutaten wie Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (angeblich ähnlich wie LSD) oder Blue Lotus Extract daherkommt, dann muss ich ja wohl.
Auf Baked von Freshcotton gibt’s drei Kochclips mit Sternekoch Misha Sukyas sowie ein Drogen-Kochbuch als PDF (Pay for Tweet, man kann aber auch einfach diesen Link hier klicken), oben das Video zu „Savoury Cappuccino of Bali Kratom, Hashish & Baby Woodrose with Foie Gras Marijuana Lollipops coated in Magic Truffles.“
“It’s haute cuisine, Amsterdam style: using every street-legal drug you can imagine. From well-known marijuana to more esoteric buzzes,” explains Rickard Engstrom , who (with his creative partner Joris Kang ‘eri) was responsible for the idea. “Chef Misha will show you how to make truly mind-blowing, beautiful food,” says Jesse Smit , CEO of FreshCotton. “And in return for a Tweet you can download a recipe book for your tablet or to print.”
The project showcases a selection of Amsterdam talent working together– the films were directed by Doug Hancock through Darlings Amsterdam; the digital execution was done by highly-regarded interactive studio Cartelle; and the music was provided by Full Crate, a producer who fuses hip-hop and soul with a futuristic sound design. Neil Henry , of Arnold Amsterdam produced the campaign.
Weitere Rezepte aus dem Kochbuch: „Marijuana chicken rolls with Hashish quenelles and a Marijuana coulis“, „A raspberry-Marijuana bombe coated in Hashish chocolate with Morning Glory and Magic Truffles“ oder „Foie gras Marijuana lollipops coated in Magic Truffles, almonds and pistachio nuts“. MARIJUANA LOLLIPOPS! ZOMG! Ich glaube, die Agentur hinter dieser Aktion liest mein Blog.

Cannabis Mayonnaise:

Giant Shiva-Pumpkin
„When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe. In Awe! Of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest.“ (George Carlin) Aber hey! Linus Van Pelt hätt’s gefreut! Ich bezweifle allerdings, dass die Leute da in Indien den Kürbis mit „It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!“ anbeten.
Residents of Bokaro, Jharkhand, have started worshipping a pumpkin believing it to be a reincarnation of Shiva. The 87kg pumpkin has become the talk of the town with people thronging the town’s biggest vegetable market Dundibagh to worship the vegetable. […]
The news about the ‘Shiva’ pumpkin spread like wildfire and local people rushed to get a ‘darshan’ of it. “The pumpkin is like a Shivalinga and it blessed me and my family,” said Guddu Singh, a devotee.

Japanese Wasp-Wodka Shouchuu
Japaner trinken ihren Wodka auch gerne mal mit drei Jahre lang eingelegten und gegärten Riesenwespen. Soll angeblich die Konsistenz von Guiness haben und nach einem Hauch verfaulendem Fleisch schmecken riechen. Yummy!
First, a large number of living wasps is put in a mason jar, which is then filled with shouchuu. Afterward, the jar is sealed up tight and left alone for about three full years. Having no means to escape their alcohol hell, the wasps must suffer terribly within the jar, for they release a great deal of toxins as they die and then ferment. Again, protective clothing is absolutely necessary when preparing the jars.
The first thing to take note of is the liquor’s color; it’s a dark, muddy brown. According to our gracious host, this is a sign that the wasps’ bodies have properly fermented and all of the necessary nutrients have seeped into the liquid. In spite of all assurances that this is exactly how the drink should look, the sight of it is perfectly unappetizing. Then comes the smell. It’s much like that of regular shouchuu, but with just a hint of rotting flesh.

Bananas… How to Serve Them!
Bananas… How to Serve Them Part 1, Part 2.
Bananas… How to Serve Them is a great 50+ page booklet of banana recipes published in 1940 by the Home Economics Department, NY NY. Everything is covered, from entrees to breads, to desserts, ice creams, shakes, sauces, salads, sandwiches and more! And if for some reason you’re not a banana flavor fan, but instead like cute illustrations, this heavily used/stained book o’mine is overflowing with fun images of bananas doing banana things in their natural banana habitat, like: juggling, smoking cigars, conversing with bacon, directing traffic, painting, sunbathing, pranking each other with buckets of glaze dumped on each other, etc!
Nutellapriesterin und 5 Tonnen Schokocreme
In Bad Hersfeld haben sie 5 Tonnen Nutella von einem Lastwagen geklaut, die Polizei hat noch keine Spur, ich hab’ da allerdings eine Theorie – siehe Video oben.
Thieves in Germany have made off with a truckload of Nutella, stealing five tonnes of the hazelnut chocolate spread from a parked semi-trailer, police said on Monday. The theft of seven palettes of Nutella jars, worth a total of about 16,000 euros ($20,800), took place at the weekend in the city of Niederaula in the central state of Hessen, said police.

On the occasion of Beacon’s first LP The Ways We Separate, Brooklyn-based sculptor Fernando Mastrangelo has created a 13″x13″ cast sugar sculptural object that houses the vinyl and which simply reads in bold capital letters TWWS. The prototype was CNC milled in wood, which he then molded in silicone and finally cast in pure white sugar.

A Chinese engineer who operates a data recovery and hard drive repair center is being hailed as a genius after inventing a DIY candy floss machine made from a used hard disk. According to the instructions, all that is needed to create your own candy floss maker is a hard drive that can still power up, a round flat metal tin, six bicycle spokes, an aluminum can and a plastic basin. A series of photos demonstrating how to create this candy floss machine have made some sensation across China internet …
The key to the improvised cotton candy maker is the hard drive’s rotating platter. Most commercial cotton candy machines spin at around 3,450 rotations per minute, while modern hard drives operate at 5,400 rotations per minute or higher.

Salat Dressing in a Cement Mixer
Eine Pizzeria in Schweden hat ihr Salat-Dressing in einem Betonmischer angerührt. Das ganze ist aufgeflogen, als ein Kunde eine Schraube in seinem Döner gefunden hatte.
A patron of the restaurant started the ball rolling when he found a screw in his kebab meal in early March. […] “The screw was part of some tongs that we always use with the salad and it eventually came loose and fell in the kebab tray,” the restaurant owner told the Dagens Nyheter (DN) newspaper. “The screw is black and the kebab is black – it isn’t so easy to see it.”
But the plot thickened when the customer alerted the local council’s environmental office (miljökontoret). Inspectors discovered that the restaurant owners were using a cement mixer that had been painted blue for making salad dressing and sauces.
Abandoned McDonalds in Fukushima
Google hat gestern seine Streetview-Maps aus Fukushima online gestellt, was ich mir grade zum ersten mal richtig angesehen habe. Spooky. Chris hat mir grade das vorrottende McDonalds dort geschickt, nach dem Klick noch ein verwesender Sony-Laden: Namie, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan McDonalds (Danke Chris!)
