What, chicken for dinner? Again? Turn those blahs! into yays with Food Finish, an edible colorizer that you spray on your food to make it look like it’s covered in gold.

It’s basically spray-on food coloring with an extremely high luster. It’s also available in silver, chrome blue, and magenta.

No one will that you’re swapping out sirloin on the dinner table with hanger steak, or serving up haddock instead of cod, they’ll be too busy oohing and ahhing over how all the meat looks like it was prepared by Midas himself. It’s the perfect recessionary gastronomical pick-me-up!

Here is the ingredients list: Gold: ethyl alcohol, flavorings, additives: E943a, E943b, E944, Colours: E555, E171, E172. Silver: ethyl alcohol, flavorings, additives: E943a, E943b, E944, Colours: E171, E555. Red: additives E943a, E943b, E944 ., ethyl alcohol, flavors, E555, E172 Blue: additives E943a, E943b, E944, ethyl alcohol, flavors, E555, E171, E133.

I have not personally tried this food spray because I am not fancy enough. Also, because it is sold only in Germany and shipping regulations currently prevent it from being imported over here.
