The History of Candle SaladYou've probably seen this image, or one like it, on the internet at one time or another. You probably regarded it as a joke, because people do weird things with food for a laugh all the time, right? But no, this is Candle Salad, and it's supposed to resemble a candle with a flame at top and candle wax dripping down the side. Regardless of how prurient it appears, this is a recipe that's been handed down since at least 1916. According to Wikipedia, that's the year it first appeared in a socialite menu. It had no description or menu, but it's pretty easy to see how it is made.Its preparation is: first arrange a few leaves of lettuce on a plate or decorative napkin, this forms the salad's base. Then stack pineapple rings on top of the lettuce, providing a niche for inserting one whole (or more often half) peeled banana. For garnish, the banana can be topped with choice of cream and a cherry.[1]There were references to Candle Salad in magazines and cookbooks throughout the 1920s, and then there was a resurgence in the 1950s when it became a children's project, as both a piece of art and a way to get kids to eat fruit. It could be a real hit at your next ladies' luncheon. -via Messy Nessy Chic(Image credit: Rachel.ehmke) #food #vintagerecipe #pareidolia

Someone has Been Parking a Luxury Vehicle Covered in the Words "Take 'n' Bake Pizza Sucks" in Front of American Pizza Manufacturing in CaliforniaThe owner of the La Jolla take-and-bake pizzeria, Andrew Melone, believed he was being harassed through the presence of a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 luxury SUV parked just outside of the store. A plane was also seen flying over the store pulling a banner as well. Both incidents contain derogatory messages against the pizzeria.The SUV is covered with the phrases, “Take ‘n’ bake pizza sucks.” While the plane’s banner reads, “Just say no to take ‘n’ bake pizza.”Melone said that he had been receiving negative messages about his business since October 2020. He said that “It started passively in the beginning,”  with negative posts on social media.“It took us a few weeks to get those down,” Melone said. “These were all personal about me and things that aren’t true about our business model. This is being done with impunity because nothing has been done.”Image Credit: (Courtesy photo)#pizza #viral #hate #food
