Edible?

Scorpion vodka. English garden worm gin. Reindeer pate. It sounds like a food cupboard right out of a villains lair. But let me broaden your mind to this company called Edible. I found this brand in Harvey Nichols when i was in the UK a few months ago and i stood, transfixed, staring at a Popsicle that had a millipede in it.

I lust the concept of edible. Lust, not love because i can never fully embrace it. It still freaks me out and i’ll never buy it but.. the brand is definitely one of the more interesting ones I’ve seen.

Edible aims to bring you delicacies that you may never have considered or perhaps seen before, whether it be recreations of ancient aphrodisiacs consumed in the court of Queen Cleopatra, Insects eaten by the street traders of Phnom Penh or more sedate but equally interesting fayre such as rare chewing gum from Japan with unique weird and wonderful flavours to rare chocolate, teas or coffees found by their epicurean explorers around the globe.

So for all you adventurous foodies out there, take a look at these pictures:
