National Flags of Native Foods by Whybin\TBWA

Australia (meat pie and sauce) / Brazil (banana leaf, limes, pineapple and passion fruit) /
India (curry chicken, rice, cheera thoran and papadum wafer) [via Marvelous]

Since the Sochi Winter Olympics have us all flaunting our national pride, I figured it's the perfect time to look back on this clever campaign by Australian ad agency Whybin\TBWA. As a promotion for the 2009 Sydney International Food Festival, the agency designed 18 flags made of foods native to each country.

American as apple pie? Try hot dogs. You can view Old Glory, along with the rest of the scrumptious flags, after the jump.
