The Burnt Food Museum is a glorious celebration of when cooking goes wrong, badly wrong. It is a really quirky website and offers you a feel-good affirmation that your cooking is not all that bad.
What makes this site work is that it is not just a collection of burnt food, but that time and creativity have been put in to ensurie that the text accompanying each image really rocks.
I have a particular soft spot for the piece entitled the Chorizo Of Truth, but it is the text accompanying the burnt pizza toast that really stands out. See it below.
A STUDY IN PIZZA TOAST
Beautifully displayed behind glass, the “Study in Pizza Toast” is a striking psychological study in the results of ill-placed domestication: in this study, the curator was attempting to “act like a housewife,” cooking for a boyfriend she actually wanted to break up with. But could she admit that to herself? If she'd analyzed her pizza toast, it would have been obvious!! The “Study” is a moving reminder of how profoundly any culinary endeavor reveals the true inner desires of the chef. Note how the melencholy carbonized cheese recalls the the empty ghost of a passionless union. “Study in Pizza Toast” is a beautiful, multi-color exhibit, including not only various striking shades of grey and black, but a splash of true tomato red, representing that even in the oven of our discontent, the possibility of true love - that 'real tomato' - still remains.
