Food bloggers everywhere find inspiration, horror, and often a good laugh in the latest collection of McSweeney's online literary offerings on the subject of "New Food."
Like any pot-luck, there are some entries that may repulse you, but there are many tasty articles on topics such as:
Coddle (an Irish stew of boiled sausages, onions, bacon and potatoes)
Fennel seeds (well past their prime)
Manzanita Sol (Pepsi's apple flavored soda)
Satay Vegetables in Skewen, Wales
Lay's Dill Pickle Potatoe Chips (the litmus test for being Canadian)
Doritoes that are too cheesy
Pork Skins
Caramel Apple Fig Newtons
Dry Brown Curds Snack
Breast Milk
Navel Orange (a hilarious observation on its snackability)
and Smuckers Uncrustables Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches as shared by Ogden Nash.
There's more, but if that doesn't make you go read it then there's no hope for the power of the link. You can even add your own entry.
