There was a time in my formative years when I worked at McDonald's. One of the soft drinks that the fast food behemoth offers is the Gadorade knock-off Powerade, coming in an icy blue color. One day, a costumer asked what it tasted like, to which a co-worker responded, "It tastes like blue." I could not think of a more perfect answer to explain the artificial adult Kool-Aid essence of the drink. This got me thinking about the colors of food, thus I decided to declare my favorite foods by color. If you notice the lack of meat on the chart, it is because I am a vegetarian.
Red- Rhubarb Tart Pie (Runner up: raspberries)
Orange- Carrots (Runner up: Thousand Island dressing)
Yellow- Humas (Oranges. Yes, in my experience, good oranges usually have more of a yellow tinge to them than orange oranges. Honey suckle oranges don't have quite as crisp a texture as yellowish oranges.)
Green- Burritos with green tortillas (Runner up: pickles) (Second runner up: sugar snap green beans)
Blue- Blue flavored frozen Go-Gurt (There really is no blue-colored food, so I had to pick something artificial. Blue is the color of dye, of synthetic food that has that "Futuristic" taste to it.)
Indigo- Greek yogurt with blueberries mixed in.
Violet- Blueberries. Fresh blueberries
Black- Black beans
Dark Brown- Potatoes
Light Brown- Bread (In my junior year of high school, I wrote a 10 page research paper for my composition class all about bread. Perhaps the best part of the project was the title, "Bread: Water Incarnate Solid." I do not believe anybody will ever create a high school paper with a better title.)
White- Oatmeal
