I know, it's not really food, but nearly as essential :)

Some ingredients of our dinner today.

yumm, gingersnaps!

The carrot is divine! and very appealing :-)

ChrisL

Cute, but not fonts.
And if they were, would they still look like food?

Oops, I missed the Black and White requirement.

That's the way the cookie crumbles, Gillo.

ChrisL

Hot Sauce!

Oops! Sorry about the black and white rule. These can be color for sure.

So Justin, tell us something about yourself?

ChrisL

WORLD PREMIER!

Quaker Oatmeal et Smuckers Strawberry Sugar-Free Jelly

Out-fascinate that!

Mikey :o)

Fair point, Nick. For the purists among us, this battle should be Food Lettering.

Not sure if this qualifies as food, but its made out of blocks of garden cress. Its edible at least :)

For anyone who has had children, food littering brings on a different meaning :-)
Oh! That was lettering! never mind.

ChrisL

Refined sugar refinement. Could have used an undo keyboard shortcut on this one.

In the raw version:

And after banging on the table a few times:

Chris, pardon the pun, but that is sweet! Is it based on Bernhard Gothic?

Looks more like it is based on Jack Frost Rounded :-)

ChrisL

"Is it based on Bernhard Gothic?"

Not consciously, but I think I owe some royalties!

i love the posts so far!!!

Here's my lunch:

(Japanese-style curry, not Indian)

and peanuts!

Here is my submission. Some time ago in my kitchen...
Turkish Hellim Cheese getting the right cook on the stove.
And!@#$% all there is As (: The most delicious As I had!

These are so cool!!!
I want to eat them!

This was for a School project -
sorry not spelling out what it is - but a contradiction.

S

My first time posting :D

I fixed it a little

Not easy to harness the inherent contrast in Bavette. :-)

Food for Live:
I just want to experiment when they go out to eat it and i was waiting for 24 hours.

let them eat it all!

It looks like that font won't compile--it is too buggy :-)

ChrisL

mmmm! I think I'll have Pasta tonight!

LIVE is very cool - however not very appetizing...

Hmmm, hope the Narcs aren't around :-)

ChrisL

Did they outlaw camomile tea?! OMG.

Not yet. That stuff will put me out. zzzzzzzzzz

Just thought I'd share this link on this thread:

Does anyone know when this type battle ends?

j

I think usually when a new one is started. ;)

Type-high Yams!

Locked- up in the chase...

The raw and the cooked...

I think its a tie with Chris Herron and Michael Barker!

.... Slightly reminds me of this:

Here’s a font (but not mine).

Please pardon my crappy phone camera, but this glyph appeared last night in my squash. I think it is quite nice actually.

Tasty too!

Cerulean, those pretzels are smart! Love it.

I think Refined sugar refinement looks like it's been Gaussian blurred "after banging the table a few times". :)

"Does anyone know when this type battle ends?"
The next meal?

My son also enjoys playing with his food (he's 1.)
I hope he picks up on graphic design like his daddy
and grandpa.

I like the yamtype. Michael, did you try inking them up? (Not with proper ink of course, but with another foodstuff!) Can we see a print?

@oprion Peeled skin makeready! Nice!

@dtw I didn't print them, though it was quite satisfying to lock them up in the chase... I just couldn't bring myself to run Yams through my press! Truthfully I also couldn't wait to bake them -- which didn't go quite as I thought it would -- I put them in the oven, and they just kind of withered and bloomed with black bits... perhaps I should have pan-fried them?

Michael Barker | Acme Art and Design

Ah well, never mind.

The pretzels one is my fav. Keep it up!

Hey, I know a guy who casts composition rollers from gummy bears...

Rather messy, but I don't think college food deserves much better

It's Passover, and I have a *lot* of horseradish (horseradish being a traditional Pesach food) lying around, and nobody's done a non-Latin entry. So here is my Hebrew "Pesach", with horseradish consonants and matzah niqqudot (vowels):

And, because I love red chrein (horseradish sauce with beets) so much, here is my favourite sandwich ("chrein" in Yiddish, chrein on buttered matzah):

Typo Christmas Tea.

what else would a student find from the kitchen cupboard...

How about top raman.

Cerulean's pretzels are amazing. Great job. I like "live" and "apples" too...

This is a corn L made of corn from a Cornell University cafeteria. Really corny, yeah. Interestingly, when I asked people what they thought it was, they mostly said "corn" or "L" but didn't think to connect the two.

Some of us got it right away.
