So go ahead and indulge yourself and suck up these stories like a good bowl of ramen…

1 in 10 sausages may give you hepatitis

That will teach you to do trade with some dodgy sausage seller. Wait it affects us all? I thought virus laden food stories went out with mad cow disease. Surely that 6 pack of bangers won’t kill me? What do you mean I gotta cook ’em?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30006977

You eat Doritos and drink Mountain Dew together right?

So why not make them one delicious drink? Yes the yanks have more to worry about than hepatitis, the DEWitos drink was tested on some US college students. Sorry but I already have a bit of sick in my mouth.

Don’t eat that burger you doughnut!

Yes there is yet another hugely calorific treat for your eating pleasure. This time it’s from the Hungry House chain of restaurants. Dubbed the ‘doughnut burger’ it does indeed live up to its inspired name as it really is a double beef patty bacon cheeseburger with a glazed doughnut both top and bottom. Well doesn’t that sound yummy!

You sriracha my back

How many times have you been out to dinner and thought “Hey this fois gras is missing a shot of hot sauce”, we’ve all been there. Well fret no more (if you’re Stateside) as srirchana2go is here! It’s sriracha, erm, to go…

OK let’s write this cookbook!…wait what were we talking about?

Now of all the noble projects to help crowdfund this sounds a little high (geddit?) risk. Would you part with your hard earned cash to help a bunch of stoners make a cookbook? I mean do they even cook? Surely it would be easier for them pick up a phone when the munchies kick in? Oh well it’s your money, find out more here…

Welcome to this weeks edition of food in the news. Once more I have searched the world on your behalf to find some of the strangest food and drink related news, from the sublime to the ridiculous…

Have your Pizza cake and eat it

Pizza is good and cake is good too. Hold on why not make a cake out of pizza! Damn seems I’ve been beaten to it. Check out this link to see what a heart stopping experience this could be. Now I’m going off to make pizza out of cake.

O.M.G! Powdered. Alcohol. Exists!

Instant cocktails have arrived! Well nearly. Sounds like a late April fools joke, according to Palcohol they have inverted a way to let you can have your favourite booze anytime, anyplace, anywhere, just add water. Perfect for those ‘I could use a drink’ moments…

Slip on some sushi

For the man or woman with everything, here’s a novelty you don’t see (and probably don’t want to see) everyday. Yes it’s slippers in the style of sushi! If only there had more pink, bows and glitter then they might be crowned king of kawaii…

Red hot nickel ball (RHNB) vs Butter

RHNB has a habit of burning through things, and I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘hot knife through butter’…well this takes the spirit of that phrase to a whole new level! I bet the room smelt amazing after this test…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIOPyIkOhbs

RBHB has burnt it’s way through food before and proved the watermelon is almost indestructible by fire…

Where food styling becomes art..

Food styling is a bit of an art form already, but when a food stylist turns food into art things get pretty…very pretty! And my mum always told me not to play with my food…

Ron Burgundy whiskey 

Yes your favourite anchorman has released his favourite Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch. Now all I need to do is grow a moustache, get a tasteful polyester suit, then sit back and relax with a glass of ‘Great Odin’s Raven’.  It is ready for your delectation here…

Cut tomatoes quick

If you’re a fan of fruit slice (and who isn’t?) then you will love this tomato slicing trick. Try it if you dare but remember to be careful! It only looks like you’re going to be able to slice not dice…

Welcome to this weeks edition of food in the news.

I have trawled through the internet to find you the best and possibly the most ridiculous food and drink related stories. You lucky people!

So enjoy these little glimmering gems of news…

Expired foods RIP

Seems like we’ve been throwing things out a bit too fast, and a lot of the use by dates on what we buy have been a little on the ‘safe’ side. I remember the days when things didn’t have sell by dates, you had to use your eyes and nose to work out if it was edible. If you could use your ears then it was definitely for the bin!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-24305902

Russian cheese gets…cheesier

It’s never taken the world by storm but now Russian cheese has nailed its own coffin tightly shut. Now if Cleopatra had bathed in the milk I might have given the cheese a chance…but these guys? Nah!

http://en.rocketnews24.com/

MacTattoo

There’s stupid and there’s OMG that’s really stupid! Check out this guy who got a tattoo from the, erm, checkout…

http://www.thelocal.no/20140327/norwegian-tattoos-mcdonalds-bill-on-arm

Rock around the food clock

Always wanted to see how food is being produced, consumed and wasted in the world…and in real time? Really? Well wait no more! Simply go to food clock and while away the hours…

I’m going down…to the alphabet sandwich

Better than any episode of Sesame Street I’ve ever seen. This is how I wished I had been taught the alphabet! Now try to guess all 26 ingredients before clicking this link…

SEEEEEDS…IN…SPAAAAACE!

Even though a trip into space is out of reach for most of us, at least you can now own herbs which have done the trip on your behalf. These basil seeds journeyed round and round the globe for a year, stuck to the outside the International Space Station. Only to come back and be buried in the ground somewhere…Life sucks being a seed sometimes…

I hope you enjoyed these stories as much I have. Some even had me laughing out loud!

Welcome to my round up of food and drink related stories that caught my eye. It seems every week interesting stories pop up so I thought I would share some of my favourites with you.

Eat more veg…NOW!

Seems like the 5 a day rule which has been drummed into us for years is a little off balance. We should actually be eating 7-10 portions of vegetables a day. People have often complained that 5 portions is hard to keep up with so I’m not sure how these people will take this news.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26818377

Invite the Empire round for breakfast

Something for the science fiction nerd in you. a Darth Vader Toaster. A novelty toaster which not only looks like that evil Star Wars character, it also brands your toast with his menacing imagine…

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=LTP10026&mode=retail

Universal plates

If you’re more a pure science nerd then these planet plates are for you! Recreate our solar system while tucking into your dinner. I’ll be looking for these being used as props in the Big Bang Theory.

Coca-Cola can (not)

If you thought choosing the right wine glass/booze glass was tough, well I’m sorry to say things just got a little worse. This £12 glass is said to ‘enhance the drinking experience’ of your favourite soft drink…erm really?

http://www.riedel.com/restaurant/collection/d/restaurant-o/coca-cola-glass-1/

Coca Cola get all gushy and wax lyrical about the glass here

http://www.coca-colacompany.com/stories/riedel-toasts-coca-cola-with-custom-glass

Milk vodka anyone? (No not a white Russian)

How about a pure milk vodka promising a “creamy” taste? Perhaps it will taste fantastic mixed with coke and drunk from the ‘special’ glass above. Will you be rushing out to get this for your drinks cabinet?

http://www.blackcow.co.uk/

I’ll be back…with a wire brush

I won’t mind if robots rise up and take over the world if they simply clean everything in sight. This little GRILLBOT automatic BBQ cleaner is a dream come true for those who hate having to clean their BBQ grill…and have lots of money of course.

http://grillbots.com/
