This is what we need more of: food shaped like weather events.
This is the Tornado Potato, a potato cut and twirled on a stick, found in Hongdae and Myeongdong and probably other places as well. It's dusted with a fine cheese powder, according to the SuperLocal blog. I'm not sure if it's just the way the pic was taken or what, but it seems really gigantic to me. Gigantic and delicious.
And if you're wondering how it's cooked, it's deep-fried. I want to try one right now.
We can change the way we make eggs -- scrambled, poached, fried -- but what about changing the eggs themselves? Mix up your scrambling routine with quail eggs.

There is a little snack stand in Lukenbach, Texas, that does something similar. they use an old drill which they mount the potato on, then use a razor blade on the other side to cut it. The resulting curlies are then fried. Good with katsup!

looks like a small potato. Just looks big because of the curl.
They sell the tool to do that at any kitchen supply store. I think it is normally used on apples.
Then all you have to do is put it on a stick and fry it.

I was just in korea last month and saw these. They are really good.
They are pretty big too; about 10 inches long.
