I’m a fan of the pear lamp, myself.

For an ongoing new series of photos entitled Strange Fruits, German artist Sarah Illenberger playfully re-imagines familiar fruits and vegetables in all sorts of unexpected ways. The disco pineapple is particularly awesome.

That’s…kind of sick, actually. Impressive, but sick.

Feeling peckish? Grab your Let’s Get Messy Emergency BBQ Pig Out Kit and head to The Duck Inn at Oakenshaw, Redditch, England where Chef Jurgen Koller will serve you the biggest steak we’ve ever seen. This awesome hunk of meat is a 150 ounce rump steak measuring 12 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 4 inches thick. It requires over two hours of cooking time to reach medium rare and we feel full just looking at it.

“Brave diners are invited to take on the high-steaks challenge and polish off the slab of meat, along with a portion of chips and onion rings. Anyone who manages to scoff the steak in under an hour gets the £110 meal on the house. Since the challenge was launched at The Duck Inn at Oakenshaw, Redditch last year, only a handful of diners have attempted it and not one has managed to finish it.”

Kawaii! This teddy bear breakfast omelet proves, once again, that the Japanese are the supreme masters of transforming pretty much any ordinary thing into something so cute and sweet that it will most likely cause cavities if you look at it too long.

Could you bring yourself to eat a breakfast this cute? What’s the best beverage to accompany a meal that’s this cute? Does starting your day by eating an awesomely cute teddybear breakfast give you super powers? If so, what would they be? These are the questions we ask ourselves…

Short version: science and umami.

Food Rap is pretty much what it sounds like: stop motion food, rapping. This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.

And now, an edible helium balloon from Alinea.
