Galileo goes digital
We recently came across a token in memorium of the Father of Science in the Museo di Storia della Scienza in Florence. We hope it was not a result of a kitchen accident, but rather a final rebel yell against the authorities that tried to quash his free thinking and scientific pursuits.
Monstera deliciosa
We’ve seen a lot of fruits in our time, but a visit to the local crunchie food co-op this weekend yielded a queen we had never before seen. A monstera deliciosa, or “delicious monster”, beckoned from the exotic fruit table, daring us to shell out the $5.99 the store was asking for it. Never weak [...]
Edible puck
Our friend Kai got her hands on The Hungry Scientist Handbook. This is what happened:

We don’t know what happened next. We hope nothing blew up.
We’re working on making her an edible hockey puck. Any suggestions for an insanely durable yet edible material?
Oil for wine
We’ve learned that many locals in Tuscany buy their wine in bulk directly from the Chianti wineries and store it in refillable bottles. In order to keep the bottles air-tight, they pour a little oil at the top. Rather than using olive oil, which makes wine taste olivey, they use a petroleum jelly-based oil and a [...]
Lots of buzz
Here are some of our below-mentioned evilmad friends’ fabulous projects from the Hungry Scientist handbook:
As their greatest fans, we think IT IS IMPERATIVE that everyone spends some time on their fabulous website: evilmadscientist.com
WIRED R US
WIRED is all we have to say.
Name the project:
Regarding this last one, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. In fact, we think they definitely said it better.
“The Hungry Scientist crew eat at a very long table laden with comestibles and, at times, combustibles. It’s so lengthy, in fact, that passing the salt and [...]
A shout out to our favorite evils
We’d like to dedicate the first post of our first day in official publication to a very special couple of brains. Windell Oskay and Lenore Edman, aka www.evilmadscientist.com, are the truest hungry scientists. Their projects like “Demonstrate Magnetohydrodynamic Propulsion in a Minute” and “A Simple Persistence of Vision Approach to Lissajous Figures”, they have us humbled; [...]
Strange Sightings in Florence
Hungry Scientist arrived in Florence yesterday and has already come across some curious food stuffs.
Duff Love: That’s right, Homer Simpson’s favorite brew is here in Florence! Was it Springfield or Florence that had it first? Don’t know. Did the original Homer drink Duff while he wrote the Odyssey?
Power Fruit: Caught this by chance as I [...]
Albino Bars
I am a big fan of Skor bars. I bought one at a gas station the other day and found that instead of that nice chocolate brown color it had turned completely white. I grabbed another bar from the same box, unwrapped it, and found the color you would expect—a nice chocolate brown. Considering that [...]
Brewing in Boston
This past weekend I helped good friend and Hungry Scientist Ryan Horan brew some beer. I was there more to help document the process than anything else as my knowledge of brewing is minimal. Ryan has been perfecting his process and is making his own Hog Splitter Imperial Stout this time around. Stay tuned for [...]
