What would make food fun? Is that something for children? Like Minion Rice Krispies. What about Easy Homemade Funfetti Cake? I guess Funfetti is edible confetti as the cake is multi-coloured like confetti. Looks cute. I have to scroll down a bit to get to the Pink Pickled Devilled Eggs. Devilled eggs are never left over at a party. I usually ask a person to bring double. But would you want to eat pink-tinged devilled eggs and it isn't Easter? I don't think that's the kind of fun I have in mind.
Maybe we adults are not slated for fun food. I think it might be the word "fun". We are focused on weird things so let's consider that. It might be that adults think weird is fun.
Here's one: chocolate-covered cheese with black sea salt. Here's the scoop: "Every time I make these for guests or for a cooking demo about real food made simply, people rave about them. They're surprising as an addition to an appetizer table—or even served after dinner paired with a nice cabernet or port. —Dorothy McNett, Pacific Grove, California"
And the next one: Fries dipped in honey: "This weird food combination does taste good, and it’s a great way to balance a salty snack with a healthy dip. Honey is extremely good for you, so why not take those fast-food fries and dip them in some local honey to see what you think about this weird food combination that actually tastes good."
This turns into American fast food and processed food stories. Put peanut butter with burgers, or with mayonnaise, or with bacon ... And then put Coca Cola in milk.
There's an AI app called Plant Jammer - it finds recipes based on whatever food you input, or have lying around, according to the article's author who had three tomatoes, a sweet potato and asparagus. It searches three million recipes to find often-paired items. It then consults a library of ingredients that the company has hired professional chefs to group by flavour - salt, umami, sour, oil, crunch, soft, sweet, bitter, spicy, fresh and aroma.
I don't need AI to figure out a recipe for our author's ingredients. They actually go together well.
At the same time, maybe there will be an AI food app for adults having some fun with food.
I just loved that Red Velvet birthday cake at Pearl Morissette - made with beets, no chocolate. It was delicious and a fun surprise. Fun food for adults!
