SNACK TIME: Holy bananas, Farm to table, The big impact of wine, Placentophagy, and some really sad eats

- Oh, my, god. Japanese artist Keisuke Yamada whittles human faces into the meat of a banana before he eats them. His friends are lucky. I have a bunch of bananas and I'd really like the face of Marilyn Monroe or my chihuahua carved into one. Check out the rest here.
- Ian Knauer, a contributing writer for Bon Appetit's blog, has a farm in Knauertown, Pa., pretty close to us. He just started sharing morel-hunting stories, photos of his cute baby chicks and recipes for compote made from his rhubarb, which he explains how to care for in his blog feature, Farm to Table.
- The government in the UK is looking to cut some costs, and the most relieving solution they've come to is reforming their ages-old cellar of finer-than-fine wines (worth millions and millions of pounds) by selling off the old stock and relieving taxpayers' burdens by hundreds of thousands. Can we get some?
- The San Francisco Food Adventure Club is into "rarefied food and experimentation." So, they recently chose placenta as their food-loving challenge, which some members politely declined. Thoughts? I was raised by hippies, and my dad planted the placenta from my home birth by the railroad tracks.
- Alton Brown's over-the-top cheesy yet still-informative food show Good Eats has met its end after almost 250 episodes of dropping serious food knowledge in tandem with slapstick humor. Check out Chicago Tribune's list of every single topic he ever covered. Bravo, son!
