Food tats

Tattoo_header_2This is most excellent. On Chowhound, check out the food tattoos right here. I'm sure this verges on t.m.i., but I am tat- and piercing-free (really, not even my ears. got enough holes in the noggin without adding more.), but it's fun to speculate. Were I to get a food tattoo, what would it be? My most favorite foods are not particularly tat-ogenic: spicy fried tofu, pan-seared foie, stinky cheese. There's lots of stuff I could get behind for the pure camp value: SPAM, a block of Velveeta, that kind of thing. But this is for semi-forever, so it requires some sober thoughts. Nothing too froufrou like caviar or lobster. Healthy stuff like a salad or lentil soup just wouldn't read well. And it couldn't be anything preachy or ideological like a local, free-range, organically-fed chicken or a baby cow with the red line through it. Maybe just a pretty piece of fruit or a lovely fish. Kinda simple, kinda sexy.

Any food tats out there?
