Azure edibles naturally turn off our appetites; some dieters even wear blue sunglasses! These 8 amazing cool blue foods are sure to test your resolve, however.
“Loss Of Appetite” Blue Curry
What does one call blue-dyed curry served in Tokyo’s fashionable Harajuku district? “Delicious!”, if you’re a customer; “Loss of Appetite Curry”, if you’re the restaurant. What’s especially notable about this blue food is the shade of blue dye used: no way this could be blueberry… more like recycled 1950s plastic.
If diners weren’t conflicted enough just seeing it, imagine how they felt when something that looked so cool actually tasted hot.
Blue Cafe Latte
Jonelle Patrick of “Only In Japan” discovered the above ad for a Cafe Latte flavored & colored with Blue Curacao but she hasn’t worked up the courage to actually try it. Why? “I’m frightened of any food that’s BLUE,” she admits, and we’ve all been there, have we not?
Thai Blue Rice Pudding
This Thai dessert employs blue dye naturally sourced from local fruit to dye sweet glutinous cooked rice. Topped with a thin slab of sweet fried custard, this dish looks dee-lish… and in this case at least, the blue isn’t (very) off-putting!
