A few days ago I did a post on the artist Arcimboldo. this artist used food, plants, flowers and even book in his paintings. I thought that these flags of the world would be the perfect complement to the use of food in art, so here’s three I found;-
spicy India
The flags were part of a promotion for the Sydney International Food Festival in 2009. I like the way they have used the fresh produce from each country to make the flags!
Italy - smell the basil
I wonder what our flag would look like, – probably fish and chips with mushy peas – though you wouldn’t get the red white and blue… What could you use for the red white and blue ?
We would probably use something dyed artificially blue in our edible flag…sigh!
I never thought of that Al, it is indeed a sad indictment thats only too true these days. I confess, I’m stuck for blue foodstuff that is British…
