The Special Awards from Temple of Thai:
To
determine the special award winners I asked for a help of a special man SamSam Bubbleman!
Sam
is a British artist making a Grand Soap Bubble Show in London, UK.
Sam performs Bubble Shows at private parties, weddings, kids party, science
show and corporate events. He does the show for television, films, videos and
celebrities. Samsam Bubbleman has bubbled the Olympics 2012 in London.
I
asked Sam a few 'carving' questions. This is what he said:
Q.: Sam, I know that you do Bubble shows
at the different events which are weddings, corporate, birthday and kid's
parties. Have you seen fruit carving displays at the events? What they were
like?
A.: I don't remember seeing fruit
carvings at any events, although I remember reading about a performance made by
some musicians who made their instruments out of fruit and vegetables (like a
flute carrot!), played a concert, and at the end of the concert, the musicians
would cook their vegetables into a soup and all the audience could eat it! I
didn't get a chance to see it, but it sounded like a remarkable performance!
Q.: I wonder if there fruit carvings were displayed at the Olympics 2012
events?
A.: The Olympics were everywhere!
There were celebrations and events organised all over the country. We were
involved in a couple of these - one was to do with the Olympic Torch, and the
other was the Opening Ceremony itself. Regrettably I saw no fruit or vegetable
carving at either of these.
Q.: Have you ever tried yourself in a fruit and vegetable carving art? Simple
food and drink garnishes? Fun with food?
If yes can you share your favorite one?
A.: I think the favourite food
garnish I have ever done was impaling pieces of vegetarian hot dog sausages
with pieces of spaghetti and then cooking them together for my kids. They love
them! ALso I arrange their food on their plate into faces sometimes to help
them find fun in their food. I used to like peeling oranges into
faces/shapes.
