"CherryTomatoes" news and stories

I have something of a weakness for cute food. I love things like tiny-BLT sandwiches, little quiches and mini-cupcakes. These small quail egg and cherry tomato mushrooms have been catching my eye in the Slashfood Flickr pool for the last couple of days and last night they finally pushed my cute-o-meter into overdrive.

According to Pille, the Estonian food blogger who made and photographed them, they are fairly common in her country, having appeared in a children's cookbook in the eighties. They are new to me, but I think they would make a fun addition to a brunch spread, especially since they offer a fun variation of the deviled egg.
