SNACK TIME: The Lemons Sphinx, Sriracha bread, Food tattoos, Slocombe vs. Ben and Jerry's and Shiitake bacon
- The Lemon Festival is held annually in Menton, France, featuring elaborate sculptures composed solely out of local citrus fruit. This year's theme had to do with the world's great civilizations; click here to peep the extremely accurate Sphinx, or Egyptian pyramid, shaped from oranges and lemons.
- Longtime toast favorite cinnamon-raisin, with its swirls of sweet cinnamon-sugary confection, is about to get a run for its money. Meet Cheddar-Sriracha bread, presented to us by Epicurious. The recipe is simple for making this simple bread at home — an easy swap of flours for the gluten-free readers — and is probably bangin' as toast, but even better with sandwich items. It's got your condiment built in there, complete with swirls.
- When I went to the Philadelphia Tattoo Arts Convention, I left a little bummed because I had every intention of leaving with an enormous photo collection of food tattoos to show off to Meal Ticket readers. Obviously I failed, but I did come across a Flickr group that features hundreds of food-dedicated images of body art — local or not, still extremely entertaining. So many angry tacos and cheeseburgers! My favorites are the true-to-life veggies. I want my next one to be a carrot.
- Ben & Jerry's thought they had the ideal stoner munchie (better than Phish Food? Chubby Hubby?) when they collaborated with Jimmy Fallon and released "Late Night Snack," a caramel-swirled vanilla ice cream laced with fudge-covered potato chips. But it looks like San Francisco's Humphrey Slocombe had that covered with their flavor "After Dark" — the exact same thing. Uh-oh. Eater spills the beans here.
- Bon Appetit was running this cookbook contest, asking contestants to vote on which recipe they'd most like to see be revealed on the website. I don't blame them for selecting the winning recipe — shiitake bacon, crispy and salty and spiced with a hint of Togarashi.
