Dreamweaverrs Ponderings

If you have ever seen the 1976 movie “The Food of the Gods”, you may remember the oversized rats and insects that fed on a manmade concoction. I think there is a 1989 version of it too. The food made normal sized things turn into monstrous unnatural sizes and huge creatures ran loose out of control trying to devour human beings. 

 When I came across this posting about record breaking foods, that movie instantly popped into my head, not that these are a bad experiment gone bad like in the movie, just the sheer size of the creations. What do they have? Try a 714 pound blueberry bagel, a 1.2 ton chocolate chip cookie made with 2,000 eggs, a Belgian chocolate egg that is 27 feet tall made from 50,000 chocolate bars, and a 1,496 square foot gingerbread house actually made out of gingerbread. There are 19 mouth watering, awe inspiring food creations to check out.

You have to take a look at these just for the fun of it and to appreciate the work that must have gone into making each of these.  I always like to know how things are made or how they do something like this.  For instance where do you get an oven big enough to bake a 180 pound cinnamon bun, what kind of truck moves a 30, 540 pound chocolate kiss and how many pumpkins does it take to make a 2,020 pound pumpkin pie, or where do you get a baking pan that big? 

As my daughter said, “ you could feed a small city with the amount of food they used to make those things.”

They are fun and amazing. Take a look HERE.
