Lens Artists Photo Challenge #422: Food and Drink

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , ,

“People who love to eat are always the best people.” Julia Child

This challenge is all about food and drink. You can share anything related to food including food growing in the fields, vegetable gardens, fruit on trees, farmers markets, restaurant or cruise ship meals, preparing meals, a favorite recipe, tablescapes, local cuisine, or your favorite beverages,

The following gallery shows three kinds of produce that are grown in my home state of Georgia. Georgia is known as the Peach State but there are are actually more blueberries grown in Georgia these days. Vidalia Onions are sweet onions that are only grown in a few counties in Georgia.

Another option is to show popular local dishes. The following gallery includes some Georgia favorites: Brunswick Stew, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and a Low Country Boil made with Wild Caught Georgia Shrimp.

Another idea is to show vegetables and fruits in the field, on the trees or in a garden.

Wild Blackberries
Hawaiian Pineapples
Caribbean Bananas

How about some freshly caught seafood?

Maybe you enjoy a pretty adult beverage from time to time.

Americans will be celebrating Thanksgiving in less than two weeks. Thanksgiving is a national holiday set aside for giving thanks.

A turkey is the traditional main course at Thanksgiving. Deep frying the turkey is one of my favorite ways to cook a turkey.

Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!

Are you hungry yet? I’m looking forward to seeing your food images. Feel free to share a recipe, a farmer working in a field, a fisherman, people enjoying a meal together, or someone cooking.

  4. That turkey made me hungry. Peggy and I will be celebrating Thanksgiving in Vero Beach, Florida this year at a vacation home our kids have bought. I’m looking for the right restaurant. Our anniversary falls on Thanksgiving (34) this year as well.

  7. Beth, I decided to read your post only after brunch with friends. I knew the food would look very yummy and make me hungry. Now, with a full stomach, I can enjoy the post more thoroughly. Great photos.

  10. YES! Starving! I could just go for one of those perfect buttermilk biscuits right now. Or (and!) a Peach Daiquri – oh, Beth, it’s eons since I’ve had one! Really great gallery, Beth, and I enjoyed working on this challenge – thank you for taking the time to make it so special for us. I’m looking forward to seeing all the responses – great week!
