Spaghetti?

Looks yummy? You can't eat it! It isn't real at all.

This plate of spaghetti is barely 1in (2.5cm) across. It's a miniature food charm on a strap. I love food, and cannot resist even miniature food I can't eat. Heh. I have a small collection of miniature food charms, mostly bought from Japan.

Do you like spaghetti?

[Shirley Chetwynd]

wow it almost looks real, lovely shot.

[Mags]

Very interesting, Livia. I've never seen anything like it! How unusual!

[Brian Baptie]

And I thought I'd had seen everything. Apparently not!!!

[Lael]

Yum! It is very lifelike.

[karenann]

Love spaghetti . . and love this photo. And yes, I thought that it was the real thing! Didn't know that they made charms like this, and your photo of it is PERFECT, Livia. (You really are a perfectionist photographer!)

[Beth]

It does look real. I was getting hungry until I read what you wrote. It wouldn't do for me to have those on a charm bracelet. I'd be starving all the time.

Great shot of this!!!

[Peter de Graaff]

Great macro - I usually like a few grains of Parmesan as well

[Matt Clendon]

It looks like pesto on top. A very tasty morsel of a shot.

I saw some "pretend" food at a craft fair today and thought it was strange....maybe not strange at all! :)

[Leah]

Love Spaghetti! Nice photo. As always, your lighting is perfect.

[Lennon's Mom]

Well this is adorable!! Mini food necklaces- who knew!! Well here's my spaghetti story...I've suffered from heartburn since I was a little girl and I guess I just stayed away from spaghetti and pizza because of how horrible it made me feel- I like them but was just hard to enjoy. Then I married an Italian who LOVES spaghetti and anything with tomato sauce.....so I'm pretty much SOL...and Tums are my friend :)

[Kerri]

That is cute

[joey d.Muli]

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

[jerry plume]

Wow! Awesome!

[Mary]

Yes, I like spaghetti and I love this photo! The focus and lighting are right on!

[Lauren]

a charm???! wow! that is so cute and cool - have never saw a charm like that, really neat!

[Reba]

Fabulous. It was so hard to figure out in the little image. The spaghetti looked to big for the plate, but it didn't really look like a spoon, etc. Cute little charm.

[Rach_who]

Fantastic shot of this very realistic little plate of spaghetti. We have spaghetti for dinner every Sunday.

[Sophia Ziburtovicz]

Love your shot. I want to pack my bags and head to Japan! I especially love your off center composition adn the colors.

[Renee]

Very cool! I've seen little earrings of donuts and cupcakes

[Amy Spada]

Haha! Never realized there was such a thing. Brilliant! Love spaghetti!

[marg]

Wow - you see something new every day! Fabulous.

[Patrice]

Yes! Love spaghetti!! This looks so real.

[alia_801]

Cute charm! I thought it looked like very large spaghetti compared to the plate - now I know why!

[Denise]

How clever! Looks very real.

[Display name? Ummm....]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Excellent shot and even thought it's not real, it looks pretty delicious. I love spaghetti.

[Ade Akinyede]

I'd probably end up chewing it eventually I think ¦)

[Claire]

Fab shot

[Livia]

A big "THANK YOU!" to everyone for stopping by! I appreciate all your comments. Thank you so much!

[Howard Steele]

yummy capture

[paula goff]

wow, it looks so real!!

[Cheryl]

great replica!!

[Mark Buehl]

Neat shot and a very neat charm!

[Brandie]

Love little charms like that!

[Pyrrhula]

We love it. Have it once a week . If you did n`t tell you easy fools me
How big is the collection?

[Carly]

that is so sweet :D

[Sharon]

This is adorable! What a fun necklace! Bet you get lots of comments when you wear it!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

LOVE spaghetti..but have to eat the kind that is made of quinoa grain....allergic/intolerant to what. But I LOVE it! And this charm is amazingly realistic looking.

[Livia]

Again, thank you so much, everyone!

@Pyrrhula: It's only a small collection. Maybe about over 150 little pieces? Nice thing about collecting miniatures is that they don't take up much space!

@Sharon: It's on a cellphone strap, but I don't use it. I just collect these things. (I'm crazy like that!)

Again, my heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to leave a comment. Thank you!
