Spring is in the air, Easter is around the corner, and the Zombie Bunnies are on the march!

“Eeeeeegggggzzzzzz!”
As for last weeks mess, I never did figure out what it was supposed to be, other than it apparently contained that most unfortunately-named of ingredients: Aspic.

We’re a day late, but pretend it’s Wednesday, okay?

I’m not sure what’s worse here: The creepy clown cracker or the alien life form perched on a doily. Whatever it is, it is clearly withink the clown’s hypnotic thrall.
What do YOU think it is?
Last week’s food product was called a tomato rose.

Don’t get too close to that flower, Spock!
What do YOU think it is?
Last week’s mess was billed as a “snappy” cheese custard snack. Human digestive systems may disagree.

Here is this week’s example of bad food photography:

Words fail me. The perpetrators of this may be first up against the wall when the food revolution comes. Either that, or they’ll be hailed as heroes in the Hall of Incomprehensibly Named Menu Items.
What do YOU think this is?
Last week’s abomination was Louisiana Yam Lobster Chowder. Uh, yeah.

We’re back from haitus with a double helping of wrong:

In the foreground we have something the cat left on the carpet. Bringing up the rear are the ever-popular bacon-tomato bridges spanning individual servings of molten lava. Toss a dead tree on top for garnish, and you’ve got a meal sure to stop conversation … because everyone will be clamoring for the exit!
So what do you think this is? Leave a comment below.

This may be what the old chain smoker down the street coughed up on his deathbed – complete with bits of lung.
Last week’s creature feature?

Yes, Crevette, it was a pear. The caption said it was a “stuffed fresh pear,” but it could have been fress ass for all I know.

If it’s Wednesday, it must be time to subject our readers (all three of you) to a photograph purported to be food:

I’m not entirely certain, but I think I may have seen this in Dune.

The caption below this picture calls the food “special.” I don’t know about you, but my definition of “special” doesn’t include what appears to be flattened gagh. I suppose “best eaten while living” is what makes it “special.”

Welcome to another edition of What Is It? Wednesday, in which we present something you don’t want to see on your plate.

You know there must be fine gourmet birds involved when the photo includes those little chef hats. But what sort of fine gourmet birds? The sort they serve on a planet Captain Kirk might visit?
