My Missus commented the other day during a garden meal that no-one would eat anything blue.
I considered this and reposted with blueberries and blue cheese.
My Missus conceded these two but was adamant that no substantial meal would involve blue food.
I could have parried with the famous blue milk in Star Wars covered here a number of times but felt I was on thin ice.
Is it right that no meals have blue parts?
Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy, had a kind of hot dog that was blue, as I remember the bun, the sausage and even the pickle was bright blue, I had a thing about mild mustard relish as a kid and it looked exactly that just dyed blue!
ReplyDeleteA blue dog! ha ha I like it MJ. I wonder what it is about blue that isn't appealing for eating?
DeleteMy guess would be blue suggests mould, and therefore that the food is 'off', and should not be eaten. Also, as you point out, there do not seem to be any foods in nature that are blue. There are a few blue-skinned fish, but that is only the skin, not the part you eat. I do recall one or two blue ice-creams, usually part of a multi-coloured mix. Blue icing. That is all I can come up with. Nothing that would be a full meal.
ReplyDeleteBaskin Robbins did a Daiquiri ice flavor ice cream too
DeleteBlue ice cream is acceptable and is quite scrumoptious. Blueberry and bubblegum.
DeleteIf you like a very, very rare steak, then you like it 'blue', apparently.
ReplyDeleteCould never do it. I ate raw mince with onion, Tartar, when I was drunk in a German bar but that's my raw meat ceiling.
DeleteI think there are some edible 'foraged' flowers that are blue too.
ReplyDeleteYep, borage crops up now and then!
DeleteBlue corn....yumyumyum.
ReplyDeleteOther than a few edible flowers and fungi and oddities like blue lobsters theres very little blue stuff to eat (I dont think blue smarties count)
What is blue corn Timmy? Not sure I could nibble that!
DeleteSome people could argue that BLUE M&M's count.
ReplyDeleteNow they ARE delicious! Did Treets ever go multi-cololoured I wonder?
DeleteTreets stayed as candy coated chocolate. Smarties always used dyes for colour.
DeleteSquid ink pasta can look a little bluish, but is mostly black.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Never had inky pasta. What's it like?
