Long has man searched for the ultimate in food hybrids, and we may have just discovered it.

The Cronut

What’s a list of food hybrids without the cronut? A list that isn’t very good, that’s what.

The cronut can lay claim to being one of the first and most popular mixes. Invented by Chef Dominique Ansel in his New York bakery there are still queues around the corner each day to get one. What’s more, in 2013 Timemagazine named the cronut one of the 25 best inventions of the year, along side the artificial pancreas and the Oculus Rift!

The Brookie

Don’t you hate it when you’re at your mums house and and you can’t decide between the homemade brownies or cookies (pardon the american vernacular but it seemed appropriate)?

The brookie is for you then. it’s a cookie of your choice, I opt for the never fail chocolate chip, baked inside a brownie. Did someone say diabetes? Because if they didn’t they probable should.
