Okay you really do need to check out “Not So Humble Pie” where “Ms. Humble” creates wonderful treats. But wait, theres more. She claims to be just your typical nerdy anthropological biologist turned home mom and baker of sometimes strange goodies but that is fittingly humble. She makes sciency treats to feed our imaginations, tummies, and minds. They’re tasty in so many ways one can only envy her offspring.

This is the most x-treme confection conflation in the illustrious history of food and food-like products. Its organic sustainably farmed bacon and I know you’re already on board but wait, theres more. Its got a touch of Vermont maple syrup flavouring. But wait. Theres more. It’s in convenient on-a-stick lollipop form. But wait! THERES MORE! It’s also double Caffeinated for that extra punch to the brain you’ve been looking for. Ambrosia is for peasants. This is truly the food of the gods.

Do you like to eat? Do you like to spend? Do you like to combine these hobbies? Well feast (pun intended) your eyes and potentially your wallet on the world’s “most expensive” leg of ham! Selfridges’ Oxford Street flagship shop is hocking it (again, pun intended) for a modest £1,800 for the full seven kilograms. What makes this ham so expensive? Well Pig farmer and “ham expert” Manuel Maldonado hand picked an elite group of fifty pigs to rear in Extremadura feeding them a steady diet of acorns and roots to give them a distinctive flavor. But wait. Theres more. After slaughter, the ham was salted and cured for three full years before being boxed in a hand-made wooden case wrapped in an apron made by a Spanish tailor. It even comes with it’s own DNA certificate. Seriously. The only question left is what to serve it with.

Dig this set of tableware from Lovegrove & Repucci. The New York Delft series combines classic china aesthetics with graffiti themes to result in china that would be perfect upon which to serve gourmet hot dogs and sweet potato fries. Sure they could have pushed it further, particularly with the tea cup but otherwise it looks like a pretty hot item and reasonably priced to boot. I’d be tempted to whip out a sharpie and tag a plate with that day’s menu though.
Anthony Bourdain, snarky, lovable, and articulate man-about-town is used to talking about food, drink, and the culture surrounding them. He’s not known for being politically correct or mainstream and doesn’t tend to make a secret of his opinions. His cander and wit have propelled him into our hearts as he picked on food television and the restaraunt industry, cutting it down to size and teaching it some humility. For a change he’s tackled children’s television now. The results are pretty good, even comparing the Backyardigans to Grand Theft Auto. Way to branch out Tony.
