FrankenFood

"It's alive!" In an insta-obsessed world, even our food is subject to #trends and beauty standards. This can lead to some... interesting... gustatory experiments. Here's some of the weird and wonderful creations in today's #foodstagram-able culture.

Sushi Surgery

sourced: @sobeautifullyraw

Doughnuts have always been a favourite, from plain cinnamon to delectable Doughnut Time creations, but often come with the crippling guilt of the sheer amount of crap we just ingested - so long summer body. Never fear, we have the ultimate 'healthy' mash-up, Sushi doughnuts. 

Yep, turn your doughnut dreams into a substantial meal covered in seaweed, rice, avocado and sashimi at Sea Salt Melbourne or vendors at Sydney Fish Market.

We'll take the lot!

Wine Me Up

Sourced: Patatas Torres'

One can never have too much wine, that's a fact, but now you can have all the tasty goodness of a bottle of bubbly without the hangover. Introducing, Patatas Torres' 'Sparkling Wine' flavoured potato chips. This heavenly creation not only tastes like our favourite fizzy but with some sneaky popping candy in the mix, it pops and bubbles like the real thing, (although with 0% alcohol volume, boo!)

Available at Gourmet Life for $12.50 it's not cheap, but is oh so worth it.

Vege-Don't.

As the trend goes, adding Vegemite to food hasn't been going well. Remember last year's horrid Vegemite chocolate disaster? But alas, our mates at Four'N'Twenty have out-Aussied themselves by creating a Vegemite (and cheese) meat pie.

It's exactly what you'd imagine, the minced meat pie we all love, with a cheesy Vegemite-infused gravy concoction to mix it all together. Eugh. It's available to try in Coles supermarkets now if you're game enough
