Blue food?

Here is "Top 10 most beautiful cellphones". No.1 is my favorite cell phone Penck. But I don't use it because I am using one which my company lets me use, it is N901 white. Businessweek has an article "Cell phones of the Future".

This is the book "Food Package Design", each package looks very nice, and they look more colorful than Japanese food packages. Did I write this? Gold, Red,Orange are the most "delicious looking" color in Japan, so those colors are used in many packages. Is this common throughout the world?

How about blue? Except for mint taste candy and gum, blue packages will be hard to find in the Japanese market. So that Japanese were surprised to see blue cakes in the U.S and they post them on their site like this, this. Actually, we say blue is a color reduces our appetite. The funny sample is this; "blue diet furikake". (Furikake is topping for white rice) ....orz. I don't think I can eat it rather than diet.  Nifty PortalZ had the funny post too "make foods blue". Ewwww it is impossible to eat blue curry for me. They made the comment "taste like Monster's ink". Ha ha ha.

Now they have a new contest "the deco cup cake". How gorgeous, grotesque edible cup cake you can make. I will write the results when they are publisehd. I really like the site, they are crazy and lovely. This week, I like this most "real eye label". He copies and prints his real eye pics and labels it on his eyes.

Hmm, blue is common in sweets and kids' foods. However, I don't think I would eat blue curry or blue meat or anything, because it seems like blue = mold for those kinds of foodstuffs.

The whole Japanese phone thing is great. It just reminds you of how Japan could be fare advance in technology. They worked on making phones smaller... then to bigger screens and features... now there going for that atrsy look I think. Either way they are very good in all feild.

The blueberry is very good to eat. It even grows wild in the USA. There are many types of wild berries here and many have some are blue. There is even corn with blue color so blue is not so much unappetizing.

Yikes! That rice topping looks somewhat like mold. I suppose if you're into bleu cheese, you'd be used to that. In the US, I think, we're more accepting of blue in desserts. Children's treats often come in a blue "flavor" which is usually blueberry, "blue" raspberry, or sometimes bubblegum. There's always been blue cotton candy as far back as I can remember. It *was* freaky at first, but now I've come to accept blue Froot Loops.
