A Conversation for Blue Foods

Extensive research on my part (no, not THAT part) has discovered that there was a lot of food-colour experimentation in the acid-fried heyday of the 60's.
In London's swinging Carnaby Street there was a store called 'Granny Takes A Trip' that sold blue dyed bread to the hippies. Although some was bought to be paraded around hip parties, I'm not sure any actually got eaten.
And, in the States, LSD mentalist Timothy Leary used to trip people out in his house and then invite them to breakfast with black eggs, blue milk and suchlike. Reactions were inevitably mixed, but it sure kept the food bills low.
So I agree, blue food is about as enticing as someone else's navel fluff.
