But are they Re tested, RoG approved?

hisholiness on 10/01/2008 3:13 am

You may laugh, but i'm actually gonna use some of these ideas, especially the spooky shortbread. That one seems to be perfect for my level of culinary skills. Thanks Re!!!

hisholiness on 10/01/2008 3:14 am

Oh and where can one get spray on food coloring?

executioneer on 10/01/2008 3:15 am

man where do you get spray-on food coloring, that sounds like a fun food thing to have

Silver on 10/01/2008 7:14 am

Those are definitely some nifty examples to share with us, Re. I specially liked the Hambooooorger in a Haystack because it looks 100% badass.

Despite not being a hardcore Halloween follower (dude, I can' even consider myself a fan of it) I like that awesome skull-glass. It seems that you certainly know how to get all the neat items.

I honestly think that some of the best tasting foods are ones that don’t look like they need to be in some art museum somewhere. Half the time these “Martha Stewart” creations are for all looks and not for consumption. What fun is that? I WANT TO EAT MY SUGAR COOKIES, NOT STARE AT THEM!!!

Ahem… Sorry, I got off in a tangent there. Re, I would definitely choose your food any day (outside of eating the construction paper) over the “Martha Stewart” attempts. I am sure that she does not understand the true nature of Halloween, which some of us more inclined connoisseurs have.

Jigby Huggletinks on 10/01/2008 8:45 am

Excellent work.

What amazes me is how much Martha's board of numbskulls really doesn't come up with much better. All her stuff is still shit like "make this basic fingerfood and put a pumpkin face on it". You have hit the nail on the head there.

Adobe Photoshop Purple is my favorite dish!

MS-DOS4 on 10/01/2008 10:48 am

I tried so very hard to not burst out laughing. I even left my computer for a few minutes to cool down, but I just couldn't do it. F you rog.

MS-DOS4 on 10/01/2008 10:56 am

By the way, I love the pumpkin burger. I may just make one, instead use a french fry for the stem and small bits of lettuce for the leafs.

bountyhunterseven on 10/01/2008 11:37 am

im kinda interested in the poop soup cheesecake, myself...

Tadao on 10/01/2008 12:25 pm

The roof of my mouth is screaming in terror at the sight of that toast.

LadyMage on 10/01/2008 1:02 pm

actually those cookies would be cool to do by default, and they are like something out of a mag re, kudos

Geminate on 10/01/2008 1:36 pm

Sigh, I wish I had someone to play with my food. I'm so alone.

SPINAL on 10/01/2008 2:05 pm

How come there's no actual fingers in that finger food setup or at least some finger foods that look like fingers...

DarkfireTaimatsu on 10/01/2008 3:18 pm

Man, they make spray-on food colouring? Where has Mum been shopping that she doesn't have this?
Then again, I only discovered black food colouring this past April...

Re (Guest) on 10/01/2008 6:04 pm

Thanks everyone for the ccomments!!!

I found everything (including the spray on food coloring) at party city. I would assume they sell it other places too. It's weird stuff for sure, and kind of makes everything look scary... especially the black color. Like moldy food or something.

Anyway, let me know if you come up with any culinary awesomenesses yourselves!

LupusMaximus on 10/01/2008 6:12 pm

Watch out for the gel black food coloring for frosting though, unless you're having a problem with constipation. :p

saturnknight on 10/01/2008 6:47 pm

Interesting ideas, what about a mig of grappe jello died black and orange jello?

Mockery on 10/01/2008 7:12 pm

I've also seen the spray-on food coloring at Target. It's called "Color Mist" and is made by the Wilton company. If you can't find it in any local shops, do a search for it on Google and you'll find plenty of online stores that sell it.

NinjaRygar (Guest) on 10/01/2008 10:25 pm

I was hoping you'd end this display with something genuinely horrifying.

Like orange and black colored vegetable lasagna served out of that first-aid-training lady's head.

Psychopathicus Rex (Guest) on 10/01/2008 10:31 pm

Here's a thought - what about candy corn cheesecake? Get some cheesecake (I guess from the deli segment of your supermarket, or collaborating with a friend who's good at making cheesecake). No toppings or anything, just plain white cheesecake. Also get spray-on food coloring in yellow and orange and some candy corn. You will also need a knife and a pie server.
Now, then. Cut the cheesecake into equal slices - probably about eight or ten of them. Using the pie server, carefully separate the slices and take them out of the pie pan (or whatever container they're in). With each slice, spray on food coloring in the pattern of candy corn (thin bit of yellow, thick bit of orange, white tip, if I remember correctly). Be careful to spray the sides of the slices, too, to preserve the illusion. Leave the tips of the slices alone; the normal white color of the cheesecake should suffice nicely.
Put the slices back in the pan. Scatter a small handful of candy corn on top. You now have candy corn cheesecake!

Ferrit on 10/01/2008 10:39 pm

Now I'm hungry.
And quite seasonably terrified from the orange scrambled eggs :P

but mostly hungry

Nice work guys :)

Dungeonbrownies on 10/01/2008 10:55 pm

i wasnt aware of misting food dyes. I will now keep an eye open for em

KoMoDo (Guest) on 10/01/2008 11:03 pm

McCormick makes a fall themed food coloring now as well. Its got black, orange, forest green and burgundy vials. I've seen it at most major grocery stores. I can't wait to make "the blackest cupcakes known to man" this year. Maybe even a jelly filled zombie fondant cake.

Terrible-D on 10/01/2008 11:36 pm

All I want to know is where, oh where did you get that bitchin' skull goblet? I needs me one.

Re (Guest) on 10/02/2008 11:23 am

Psychopathicus Rex
I think that idea is awesome. It's great because it would look like something amazing/ difficult

Terrible-D
Party City has them

Big Country (Guest) on 10/02/2008 1:02 pm

Wow now I'm very hungry. I think I'll go put a southern style home cooked meal twist on those creations. You're awesome Re.

ColdFusion (Guest) on 10/02/2008 6:37 pm

MMmmmmm construction paper.. gerbils like to shred that into bedding!

Ferrit on 10/02/2008 8:21 pm

You've inspired me. I was thinking of cooking something this weekend, and I make a pretty mean Chicken Kiev (frying them up in a fry daddy that's big enough to flash fry a squirrel in 5 seconds....in theory). I'm thinking - mix red food coloring in with the butter-mix stuffing so that when they're cut open - pure horror show. Maybe I'll give each Kiev a tail as well...

If I can snap some pictures before the cops show up, I'll share :)

Autrach Sejanoz on 10/02/2008 9:11 pm

Very nice job, Re. Bonus points from me for making a reference to my favourite movie of all time.

eliz.lanier on 10/03/2008 8:30 am

It looks awesome Re! Is that oatmeal really edible though? And what to do if your guests actually eat the construction paper? And on a final note I really want that skull glass.

Geminate on 10/03/2008 10:13 pm

Party City - check, three cans of spray on food coloring - check, me naked - check, spray on food coloring all over my glorious bod, check, go trick or treating, any day at any time! WooHooo!

Lothalis on 10/04/2008 10:12 am

1st: Geminate: If you go out like that for halloween i don't think you'll have a problem sharing food with anyone any time soon.

2nd: RE: I love the Pumpkin Burger idea, I am so using it anf giving you all the cred.
