    Because then we'd have to find another colour for the plasters used by catering workers ;)

    YOU are the reason why we can't have nice things.




    Also, because you touch yourself at night.

    Blue Steak i.e. rare or very rare - (110°F core temp) Cooked very quickly; the outside is seared, but the inside is usually cool and barely cooked. The steak will be red on the inside and barely warmed. Sometimes asked for as 'blood rare'.

    There are blue potatoes - they're nearly purple.
    They're supposed to be like that, not ones that have been festering at the back of a cupboard and become blue and furry.

    Because we associate blue with mold on food and have an instinct not to eat it?

    Blue Food, you saw me standing alone,
    Without a dream in my heart,
    Without a love of my own,
    Blue Food, you knew just what I was there for,
    You heard me saying a prayer for,
    Someone I could care for,

    And then there suddenly appeared before me,
    Someone my arms could really hold,
    I heard you whisper "Darling please adore me,"
    And when I looked to the moon it had turned to gold,

    Blue Food, now I'm no longer alone,
    Without a dream in my heart,
    Without a love of my own.

    Carrots were originally purple, but over years and years of selection they are now a more palatable orange colour.

    So, actually, Orange carrots could be considered GM

    People jus tprefer certain colours for different foods. Suppose blue is just not that popular.

    Used to work in a flour mill years ago. I always thought flour was white, but its a light yellow colour and bleach is added to turn it white. Supposedly studies showed that people preferred/assumed it was white, and since the cuatomer is always right.........


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    Sugar is bleached white too.
