    Fair foods gone wild – octopus on a stick!

    One of the things we try to do here is to share with you some of the more, shall we say, outrageous foods and recipes that we come across.  With that in mind when I saw this octopus tempura, I knew I had to show it to you, but I warn ya, it’s not for the squeamish.  This really does take food on a stick to a new level – check it out:

    Umm, don’t you want a bite of that?  This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘hidden suprise inside’!  I think I’ll stick with the cracker jacks!

    I’ll take my McNuggets shaken, not stirred please!

    Looking for a new way to enjoy your chicken nuggets from McDonalds?  How about whipping up a McNuggetini – a milkshake with a kick created by 2 friends, Georgia & Alie, as they were looking for a more adult type dessert treat.  Take a look:

    mcnugget milkshake

    These gals created this milkshake with a kick by combining 2 chicken mcnuggets, a large triple thick shake, a tub of McDonalds barbecue sauce, and 3-4 shots of vanilla flavored vodka.  Mix it all together, and a star is born!  If you’re feeling ambitious, give this one a try and tell us what you think!

    A new apple is born – it’s red inside & out!

    This was an interesting find that I thought I’d share with you about a new apple coming to market called the Redlove Era, developed by an apple breeder in the UK, Markus Kobelt.  Take a look:

    redlove era apple

    That’s a beauty isn’t it?  This apple has red skin as well as red/pink toned flesh, which makes it truly unique.  The advantages?  Well, this sweet & tangy apple has more antioxidents than its white fleshed counterparts, and hey, it doesn’t turn brown if you cut it and leave it out like traditional apples do.  This newbie is being offered first to European markets, and will be coming to America soon, but if you can’t wait and you have a bit of a green thumb, you can always order a sapling from Suttons in the UK and grow your own!  Interested?  Get more info here and try a new way to get your apple a day!
