I’m happy about it, but what’s all the hub-bub? Traffic stats have mapped straight North, since the above photo was posted on Pinterest by another. It was taken by me a couple years ago at The HomeBaked Ham Company, formerly in Corona Del Mar. Did you know they’re [not] real, though apparently quite spectacular, as it’s been re-pinned by several others?!

Can you spot the real Vegetable Platter? 😉 Do the Pinterest pinners know or even care?

Answer, if puzzled… ALL food (in top two photos) is fake, and the last is real and best for you.

Would you believe ALL the food pictured in this post is fake? It’s true — It’s all phony baloney! Some of it looks close to real and some obviously counterfeit. Nonetheless, it’s the best forged food we’ve seen. It goes well with our favorite Twilight Zone episode titled a Stopover In A Quiet Town. In it a couple wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings (a doll house) after a night of partying. They then discover that everything in the house and town is a prop and that they’re now living dolls for larger people on a different planet. These party platters would be served there.
