Looking for a Blue Ingredient
Blue food is notoriously hard to find, but I'm working on a dish that basically resembles a lighthouse, and I need something blue to act as the water. Mustn't be wet. The dish is sort of breakfasty (egg, bacon, mushroom & so on). Any ideas? I've heard you can make cabbage turn blue, but I don't know how. If I can't get blue I might have to go with green (in the form of some micro-herbs.)
Any suggestions for something that would fit?
Best Answer
Blue potatoes dry enough? Those could certainly fit with breakfast. (hash browns, home fries, etc) Blue corn may also work in a corn pancake.

Answer 2
I would take 3 parts elderberry, 1 part water and heat it to boiling with a small amount of agar. Once cold you have blue to darkblue, slightly purple jelly. If you take a bit more agar it gets solid enough to be cut. It would still look like a liquid. It is not really sweet, so it would go well with your breakfast dish.
Answer 3
All the blue(ish) food I can recall:
- A lot of candies
- Grapes
- The outside of passion fruit (you can replicate waves)
- Blueberries
- Elderberries
- Ice cream
- Blue potatoes
- Red cabbage (I've read that it would turn blue if you don't add apples/acid)
- Violets
- Blue yoghurt
- Eggplant (maybe)
However, I'm not sure what of these would fit with breakfast. I think the best one is the yogurt. You can also try to make blueberry bavarois, but I'm afraid that would be a bit too purply.
You can always buy some blue food colouring and you can mix it with whatever you want.
Answer 4
By "mustn't be wet", do you mean anything but an actual liquid? Would Blue Jello work? It's solid enough to stay in one place (unless you turn it upside down).
