Esslack Gold and Silver Food Paint

The Deli Garage in Germany is offering a unique way to dress up your food: edible gold and silver food spray paint. Called Esslack, it makes anything from fresh fruit and vegetables to baked goods like pretzels suddenly look like solid chunks of precious metal. Personally I think the tomatoes in the picture above look totally unappetizing (as does this pretzel done in silver) but there could be some interesting and attractive uses for it, perhaps on wedding cakes and cookies, or maybe accents on fancy hors d'oeuvres. Get it here.

So can I expect the forthcoming comments to say that the food has been "dubied" up?

This would be good for, say, decorating tops of cakes, chocolates. Anyone know where to get it?

I had just finished eating my dinner after I saw this PRESENTATION. Thank heavens it was AFTER dinner. YUCK.

I don't understand why people need to mess with food. Tomatoes are perfect straight from the vine. All you have to do is rinse them and dig in. Everybody is so concerned with improving things. This is what's wrong with the world. What's wrong with keeping things simple and healthy? Everything has to be quick, easy and flashy. Yeah, it looks pretty and shiny but who ever found gold appetizing?

As a general rule the more you do to your food the unhealthier it becomes. Take the two week challenge...Try going two weeks without eating ANYTHING that has been processed. Just eat good natural food. I'll bet you'll lose 5 pounds and feel a lot better.

Vegetables are beautiful and perfect just as they are. Painting them gold isn't an improvement; neither does it add beauty to the tomatoe (or any other vegetable). This is just one more silly and pathetic gimmick. Who can look at a perfectly ripe tomatoe, apple, pepper, etc. and not be struck by the vibrant colors and combinations of colors? And these idiots want to paint it all GOLD????? Really!
