For any of you who know me, I love taking pictures of food. Maybe it's because I've lived out of the US for a few years now, or maybe it's because I'm a woman and all of us ladies know around your period there's nothing you want to do morethan eat anything you can get your hands on. But really, I've come to appreciate even the most basic food, just because of my lack of ethnically diverse dishes here in Colombia. When I went back to the US a year ago, I took a picture of my first American meal in 8 months; an Au Bon Pain sandwich in the airport.
So when I found this foodspotting app, I knew it was exactly what I needed! Voted one of the most popular apps at this year's SXSW conference in Austin, it basically combines Yelp and Foursquare, allowing people to easily rate not just restaurants, but particular dishes in a flash. If you're out and about and not sure where to eat, just open the app and you can see rated dishes closest to your location. Now unfortunately for me, about half of the photos I take are of dishes I or friends and family make personally, so this app isn't useful then. But I'm sure there is a recipe-type app out there that can serve these purposes.
For now, I'll just leave you with the latest food-porn photo I've taken, my dinner this evening. I came home from work to a lovely soup (that was more pasta and veggies with little broth, but scrum none the less!) and fresh passionfruit juice. Having a man with dinner ready when I get home is nice!
sorry, quality ain't that great, but of course, you can see more pictures of my food diaries here (no FB photo album is complete with food photos!)
