Red food colouring

[The Mollusk]

Mate, it's made out of crushed fucking beetles. What the fuck.

Was planning on making a rainbow cake at some point this week just for a fuckin laugh like. Now the laughter has turned to screams. Got a tiny bottle of liquefied bugs on my kitchen worktop. I know it's not actual literal blood but that's all I can think of looking at it now.

WHY

[imitationleather]

One day all food will be crushed beetles. Get used to it.

[bgmnts]

Yup. Cochineal, lanolin, gelatine, fish innards, baby cow stomach lining. All used.

Actually all the colours of the rainbow there in itself. No need for the other dyes in my cake.

[Huxleys Babkins]

If it were big enough, a beetle wouldn't hesitate for one second to crush you to use as food colouring. Think of this as a pre-emptive strike.

[Dex Sawash]

Not even the best colour in the beetles

[Captain Z]

Everything's made out of something.

Get a load of this load of babies whining the paprika extract version made their red velvet cake brown. Or green! Who fuckin cares

I saw a vegan thing which was red, convincingly red, so beetles can be taken out of the process now, cheers.

They made a film out of it.

Fuck that. We're apex predators, mate. Top of the fucking food chain. Get it killed and get it down you.

I wonder if you collected enough of those little red spider mites that run about on window sills you could colour your cakes for free

[thenoise]

My mum used to buy dull coloured "smarties" from the health food shop. The "red" ones were a dull shade of pink, coloured with beetroot apparently.

Sadly the chocolate filling was made of "carob", which tastes like actual human shit.

What makes you think they'll work for free?

[Hex Triplet]

Just use ketchup.

Or that red cum they had on that metallica album

My aunt once made me a TARDIS cake and I shat blue.

Disappointing ending to that sentence. Was hoping for '...on a dinosaur.'

[boki]

Is it still not vegetarian if you use your own blood?

[Johnny Yesno]

I can tell you're disappointed. Chin up: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1083007.stm

E127 also makes it hard for those people on low Iodine diets.  They basically have to avoid anything unnaturally red (glace cherries, chicken tikka masala, Glebe's red-raw bellend).

what the fuck

[Beagle 2]

They're asking for it, going out dressed like that.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I thought we were all meant to be eating insects now to save the planet or something. Thought you'd be dead into it.

[the science eel]

wait til you find out what they make the BLUE out of of

I was under the impression they'd found a non-beatley substitute for red food colouring about 3 or 4 decades ago.  Is that not the case then?

I once made roast beetroot soup and I pissed and shat bright red for a few days.

Perhaps they've still not made it cheaper.

Laughed.

Beetroot powder is the vegetarian way to make things bright fucking red. It is to red what turmeric is to yellow.

Does it taste of beetroot though? I want to make a cake that tastes sweet, not like the fucking shitty ass dirt all full of worms and that.
