Paint by Numbers, then Eat It

"The Book Club", a London-based venue, is teaming up with the company "Animal Vegetable Mineral" to create a workshop in which participants are able to create an "expression using all the senses" and then eat it. Along with chocolate model making and "sugar graffiti", the workshop will include "edible painting-by-numbers".

The team has created edible paint, inks and sugar-based sprays to daub onto specially designed images of "things like sandwiches and dogs". This event presents new forms of expression and interaction with the process of preparing and eating food, and points out future directions for food culture. One day we might be seeing an eat-by-numbers based upon in-vitro meat paint. Imagine painting a charming cow out of beef paint and then chowing down on your masterpiece!
