Oliver Schwarzwald Takes Us on a Culinary Crusade

German photographer Oliver Schwarzwald has taken it upon himself to create some food-inspired art that corresponds with typical breakfasts around the world. The first picture is of course France, but can you figure out the remaining dishes?

I love the concept here, although I don't think I would have had the willpower to finish the project. I mean, some of these pieces by Oliver Schwarzwald look pretty damn good. I wonder if he photographs food for restaurant menus? I would if I were him.
