Alfredo Haberli Glasses
Food
Argentinian-born Alfredo Haberli designed these glasses for the Finnish company Iittala with an essential idea: fewer glasses while still being able to serve a full range of fine wines. The Essence trio are unified by the angular shape of the bowl, while the stem and base of each glass is the same size providing a sense of balance at the table. They are easy to handle, designed to expose the true taste and nose of whatever wine you pour in them.

Teapot with a Cold
Food
Frankly it's hard for me to decide if this teapot is dispensing tea manga style shooting out of it’s arms or well, “milking” tea from it's gravity defying nipples. Really it might just be me…but I do wonder about the designer’s intentions. Either way I want one of my own.

It even comes complete with a hand knit scarf to help keep warm. Hand glazed and hand painted by Lola Goldstein this earthenware clay pot is a conversation starter. Imported from Argentina

Egg Pants
Food
Avoid the embarrassment of serving guests and loved ones naked eggs. Your not an animal. Why should you eat like one. Plus a well suited egg is a beauty to behold.

Egg Pants are white on the outside and yellow on the inside, like the eggs they hold. The material looks just like ceramic, but is actually quite soft and flexible. The flexibility allows these little cups to stretch and give a perfect fit to all sizes of eggs. Just like sweat pants on Thanksgiving.

Egg Pants come in a set of two.

Fridge Watcher
Food
While traveling I always fancy a stop at the local grocery store to see what unique groceries and sundries are available. They decided to can mayonnaise, love it. They have hundred year eggs on aisle two, even better. The vegetables are individually wrapped, not so eco conscious but it thrills me nonetheless. So imagine my joy when I found out I could surf refrigerators of the world from my laptop. Well that’s just downright fantastic.

And so worth a visit, because it’s not all fry-ups and Camembert, some of the appliances themselves are scene-stealers. Plus you get to rummage around your near and not so near neighbors kitchens. Satisfying that devilish curiosity you have about how everyone else is organizing his or her condiments.

The culinary equivalent of electric kool-aid, miracle fruit aids in enhancing taste sensations.

Tablets are also available online promising up to four hours of tripped out food.

But what does that all mean to you? Well now you can eat whole lemons with a smile on your face, or mistake Irish stout for chocolate milkshakes. Seems like a fun way to explore new culinary experiences, just make sure you don't end up with sour belly.
