Food post for June

It's been a while since I've talked about food. Anyway, came across one of the most amusing food/recipe sites ever:

It's a mainly British site where anyone can post their attempts to remake their favorite snack, only GODZILLA-size. Or Pimp-ed out, which would probably be a better way of explaining the name. Or just frighteningly enormous. But since it's British, there are a lot of snacks I don't recognize so I'm just focusing on the ones I know and perhaps onced loved.

For example, take the humble Oreo; a delicious chocolate and lard cookie roughly the size of a gold dubloon. Then pimp it out and you get

this!

Or perhaps, you prefer your chocolate treat classier and more European. How about a Lindor Truffle? Or how about a pimped-out Lindor Truffle?

15 pounds of pure chocolate

And as much as I like the idea of me enjoying Cadbury Creme eggs, this is rather grotesque!

Overall, points go to this site and its contributors for their ingenuity. Take the Scotch egg - which I have never eaten - a hardboiled chicken's egg covered with a layer of ground meat and fried. Instead of finding an ostrich egg - one of which is the equivalent to twenty-four chicken eggs - the team of Giant Scotch Egg make their own.

Just like a regular egg, only bigger!

Finished product with comparison to regular, puny originals.

In the midst of a size-queen culture, this is as good as it gets.
