"Snack" by Charles Gervais

London, UK

This image was taken with a reversed 50mm lens on a 105mm macro lens, so the magnification ratio is around 2:1 (definitely "close up"). It was the focus of an informal "mystery challenge" in the Fuji DSLR forum at DPR, the title is a _huge_ clue, can anyone guess what it is? (without cheating and searching in the Fuji forum :-)

FujiFilm FinePix S2 Pro ,Sigma 105mm with reversed Nikon 50mm 1.8
1.0 sec, f32, ISO 400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

looks a bit like a hot dog with too much sea-salt. Intriguing - Quentin
