Religious Imagery in Food
Thanks to the London blog on QypYour text goes heree, here are some of the most famous religious images that have shown up in food around the world.
Virgin Mary in Toast.
The woman who discovered this sacred snack placed it in “a clear plastic box with cotton balls and kept it on her night stand”. She swears that the godly grilled cheese delight never sprouted a single spore of mould.
The sandwich sold on eBay in 2004, for a whopping $28,000.
Mother Teresa in a Cinnamon Bun.
It was proudly displayed in a glass case until it was stolen last year.
Jesus Christ in Burnt Fish.
40-year-old Fred Whan of Ontario Canada discovered this gem after he burnt the fish sticks he was cooking for his kids.
“No one wanted them because they were burned,” he said. “So I thought I’d better give them to the dogs.”. At first he thought it resembled “a rock star” but changed his mind when his son pointed out that it looked more like a slightly charred Christ.
A Pierogi is apparently “a variety of Slavic semicircular boiled dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed with varying ingredients”… and sometimes one of those ingredients can be Jesus!
Donna Lee of Toledo Ohio found this particular edible miracle when she was cooking one Palm Sunday in 2005.
JC on a Dumpling.
Jesus on a Chip.
