Make food in the 'fridge look ugly to keep other people from eating it

Ward off roomies, brothers, sisters, rude guests etc with little food grade plastic facsimiles of mold and/or dead bugs placed stratigically over your munchies. The people who eat food that they're not welcome to always seem to be the last people who would clean the refrigerator of ugly rotten food. your food will be waiting safely for you.

Peanut Butter Soup http://www.therecip...ox/soup/sou0212.htm
Despite the initial reaction to the name, this is good soup. [Amos Kito, Oct 04 2004]

Baked in this household, at least when my Fianceé cooks.

When I was a kid I used to make Jello pudding. I'd tint it with food colo(u)ring to get a nice olive drab hue. No one ever touched it.

Things like bugs, ladybirds and caterpillars - made of sugar, or colured cheese - to drop on salads, desserts etc. would be fun.

Croissant (with currants .... or are they flies ?)

One of my employees was raiding the fridge, but I fixed it by saying I'd cooked everything 'last week, but it doesn't smell or anything'.

This sounds like collard greens.

Are collard greens really bad?

<are collard greens really that bad?> [bristolz] collard greens are not at all bad if eaten within an appropriate time frame for cooked vegetables, and assuming that you like cooked spinach/kale, etc.

This is way better than those lame containers labeled "toxic waste", etc, everyone knows they're fake. Although using a plain, opaque container labeled "stool sample" seems an effective deterrent.

As a man who has cooked for years, I know how to make food taste good and look bad if necessary, but that doesn't really work because people know that I make good tasting stuff.

Anyways, bun!
