Surreal Landscapes Made from Food

Artist and photographer Carl Warner began his career in landscape and still photography, working many years in the advertising industry. Seeking new inspiration and direction one day, he happened upon a market with Portobello mushrooms that reminded him of trees from an alien world. This would become his first foodscape and the start of a new and exciting direction in his career.

Warner’s foodscapes have garnered international media attention and the series has led to books, interviews and merchandising. The foodscapes success has also allowed Warner to pursue a number of artistic and personal projects.  SOURCE

To clarify: the photos you see here haven’t been digitally manipulated but are instead the result of meticulously precise cutting worthy of a surgeon.”  SOURCE

The alphabet…in a sandwich

NEATORAMA “A few months ago, gastronomical explorer Nick Chipman of Dude Foods created the McEverything: a combination of all 43 sandwiches available at his local McDonald’s. More recently, he created a sandwich that has 26 fillings, one for each letter of the English alphabet.

Here’s what he placed between 2 slices of bread:

Avocado
Bacon
Cheese
Doritos
Egg
Fish sticks
Garlic bread
Ham
Italian sausage patty
Jalapeño peppers
Krispy Kreme doughnut
Lettuce
Macaroni and cheese
Noodles
Onion rings
Pepperoni
Quest blanco dip
Ramen noodles
Spinach
Turkey burger
Usingers bratwurst
Veal Parmesan
Waffle
Xylocarp (coconut)
Yams
Zucchini

There are few English words that begin with the letter X. What were his options? Xena and xylophone come to mind, but neither are traditional food items. No, Nick went with xylocarp, which is another word for coconut. That was a clever solution!” Read the whole article on Neatorama, here.
