Inedible

In honor of Mac's request, here are some Limited Ed. food items. Unfortunately for Mac, none of them are edible.

First off are these Limited Ed. Vintage Food Posters. My favorites are the Semaine du Poisson de Dieppe Print by Rene Jeandot:


Because what's cuter and more delicious than a bunch of salmon dancing, partying and playing the tuba? I'll tell you what: this Alhambra Print by Henry Le Monnier:


I just love seeing a chef riding a pig and carrying a couple of plates piled high with pork products. Just don't let my Rabbi know I said that.

I don't know if these Japanese Noodles Capsule Toys:



Are Limited Ed., but they were made especially for gacha machines in Japan, so they can't be that easy to find in the good ol' U.S. of A.!

And finally, here is a Set of 6 Memories of School Lunches:



According to J-List:
In Japan, school lunches are made by the good-hearted blue-haired ladies everyone so fondly remembers from their own school days. However, there is an essential difference between Japanese school lunches, and say, US lunches. Yes, the food is still god awful, but they are served by the students in their respective homerooms, rather than in a large, sprawling lunchroom.
This set includes 1) the Lunch Serving Bucket and Vegetable Soup, 2) the Side Dish Pan and Vegetable Soup, 3) the Milk Carrying Case and the Spaghetti Meat Sauce, 4) the Bread Pan and Spaghetti Meat Sauce, 5) the Utensil Basket and Tendon, and 6) the Side Dish Bucket and Tendon. Sounds delicious! Enjoy, Mac.

Update: check out these Fake Sushi USB Flash Drives via Engadget. How come all of the food items I found were either French or Japanese?

That's great, but I'm in the mood for Mexican. Actually, those flash drives look positively delectable - so, I am now in the mood for sushi. Thanks, Limited Ed!
