This Week in Food Porn: Mexican Pizza and Blood Orange Granita

Daylight saving happened, your Facebook feed is stuffed with photos of gently wilting daffodils, and somewhere a lamb is probably being born. In other words: spring has officially sprung! It might not be t-shirt weather yet but there was actual blue sky and sunlight for at least 20 minutes on Tuesday afternoon. Let’s at least attempt to drink cans of premixed Pimm’s in the park. We can wear gloves.

With all this vitamin D surging through our pasty bodies, it’s only right to fuel up with a similarly sunny selection of snacks. To inspire your sun-starved palate, here are some of the most appetising photos uploaded to Instagram this week—and not a grey cloud in sight.

You know, you really hurt the tomato plant’s feelings when you said her new haircut wasn’t flattering for a fuller face. You should probably be more sensitive in future.

The three “A”s sounds like a dodgy superhero collective and Urban Dictionary has some pretty unsavoury things to say about the three “B”s so really, it’s all about the three “C”s: coffee, cake, and creativity. Or just cake. Maybe just the one “C,” actually.

The world is your Jersey rock oyster with rhubarb granita.

This is either the delicious combination of fresh Mexican ingredients and everyone’s favourite carbohydrate-based dish, or a pile of jigsaw puzzle pieces that may resemble a Pre-Raphaelite still life if assembled correctly. Either way, best to start from the edges and work inwards.

Formica, weirdly elaborate teaspoons, and watery desserts: sometimes Gran really does know best.

Because as lovely as it is, the chips-and-peas combo can get a little stale. Variety is the spice of life, and all that.
