October Food 2019: Weirdly Delicious

This year, we’re starting Blogtober strong with its most popular post: The October Food Round-up!

2019 doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the new and the ghoulishly cool of food trends. Whether it’s a DIY delicacy or a fine-dining find, it seems the foodies of the world have been positively salivating for October to arrive.

Well, here we are; a few snacks and sippers that offer eye-candy along with something new for the palate.

Spookshi, Don’tcha Know

There’s nothing new about sushi nor making food spooky, but day-glo-orange donuts these are not. It’s 2019’s Kitch-meets-kitchen Contender… Spookshi. The tutorial above is one of the simpler recipes, but I also came across a giant sushi brain, a centipede roll, and a massive jack-o-lantern platter made with salmon and nori.

Peckish for Pickle Popcorn

Picked up the Hub❤️ (doesn’t he look impressed with me right now 🤣 – he is just hungry) and had to make a stop 🛑 at Trader Joe’s (promised MIL @karenmason1234 that we would get something for her)! Also found pickle popcorn – wow 😮 I love pickles and I love popcorn 🍿 – who knew this was a thing?!? Oh Amerika you always surprise me! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #quickstop #traderjoes #picklepopcorn #loveit #thehub❤️ #hungryman #lasvegas #vegaslife #hipstershopping #mylife #spoiledwife #unitedstatesofamerica🇺🇸 #canadiangirl #theeverydaygirl

Pickled everything is en vogue and I’m totally on board. That said, pickled popped-corn is a new concoction, and its pickle-green complexion makes it a perfect October Food. Trader Joe’s Popcorn in a Pickle seems to hold the most real estate in this market, but there are also several home-recipes to be found.

Plus: can we make this guy go viral? I feel like he deserves it 😉 .

Orange You Glad I Brought Wine

Today it's ok to be rude👊🏻 📸 @manolistudio . Bring this sparkling orange show stopper to your thanksgiving dinner! . Zanotto Cal Fondo "Rude" Veneto, Italy 🇮🇹 2015 . Riccardo Zanotti was born into the Prosecco region. He knew he always wanted to produce a sparkling wine that is different from all the others. The wine is made out of the grape Glera. A first fermentation occurs where the must is left with the skins for 2 days. The grape skins are then separated by decanting the wine into refrigerated tanks which stops the fermentation. the wines are then bottled for a second fermentation. (Usually only 1 fermentation for Prosecco that's why this is special) . Tasting notes: acacia, honey, salt, savory . #orangewineobsessed #orangewine #prosecco #sparklingwine #unfiltered #naturalwine #skinmaceration #vinnaturel #organicwine #thisisfall #winegeek #winetastings #wineoftheday #winelife #winenerd #italy #Veneto #winelover #whatwearedrinking #vino #winestagram #winetasting #fermentation #eeeeeats #forkyeah #thekitchn #eaterny #zevrovineselections #babewine #isabelmarant

New trend alert, VSCO Girls: Orange wine. Pro tip — it’s not made from oranges, but rather grapes that haven’t been de-skinned. Have fun with the heartburn in the wake of the recent Zantac ban, mah babehs.

Yass, I am so ok with this, my freaks! People decry the caloric content of these treats, but anyone who can’t deduce that the ballpark-figure on a chocolate shake topped with a Snickers bar, 32 M&Ms, 12 gummy worms, and a salted-caramel brownie-muffin-thing is going to be over the daily recommendation, is a dumb-ass.
