We Love Fridays: Edible Spray Paint

Posted by Alexandra C. | Friday March 8, 2013

Have you ever wanted to eat a golden apple? Or perhaps a blue orange? Maybe some silver ham? I know I have. I mean, why wouldn't you?

That's the idea behind this German company: The Deli Garage. Their product 'Esslack' is an edible spray paint, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like:

The paint has no taste, it simply coats food in a fun colour. Seriously, who wouldn't want to gnaw on a golden ham at Thanksgiving. Talk about classy!

I love the contrast in these photos. In a way, it's kind of creepy and yet so alluring! I just can't help but be curious. I'm wondering if the paint stains your mouth/tongue/teeth/skin?

Gold lobster?! Yes, please. I'm all over this. Unfortunately, the company is not shipping to North America yet, but I'm hoping it's only a matter of time.

What do you think of this? Is it something you'd ever try out or eat? And what would you try it on?

It would be a good way to keep other people from steeling your lunch at work.LOL I'm sure kids would also get a big kick out of it. I'm just not sure about the safety aspect of this and how much testing was done on it before hand. Other countries testing is a lot different from ours.
