Easter Eggs

[lastlid]

"This is a really fun idea for an Easter egg, a full sized football made from chocolate!

Great for any football fan of all ages, the football is hollow and made from a huge 1kg of Cadburys milk chocolate."

When I was at Cadburys World I bought one of these for my son. Similar, but it was boxed and weighed 1.5kg. A great "easter egg" for him as he loves football. I just hope he doesnt kick it else it will break his toe.

Mrs Lastlid is off chocolate right now. I am off to get myself one in the sales....tight git....

‘World’s first’ chocolate kimono planned for Japan (http://lifestyle.inquirer.net/42347/worlds-first-chocolate-kimono-planned-for-japan)


A US chocolatier will unveil what is being billed as the world’s first chocolate kimono at its new outlet in Japan later this month — but the unusual garment is not for sweet-toothed customers.

About a third of the dye for the silk kimono, a traditional flowing outfit that is now mostly worn on special occasions, is from chocolate made by New York’s MarieBelle for its cafe in the country’s ancient capital Kyoto.

The dye, including creamy white chocolate, is being used to color a pattern showing Japan’s beloved cherry blossoms in brown and blue set against a light beige background for the store, MarieBelle’s first in Japan.

“A sweet chocolate scent filled the air in the process of dying,” the wife of kimono designer Nobuaki Tomita told AFP on Thursday, adding that the final product would no longer smell like confectionery.

Tomita has previously dyed traditional Japanese fabric with edible items, including green tea and apples, she said.

Presumbaly it's to be neither worn or eaten...just a work of art?

As a youngster and 'in between jobs' I worked at Rowntrees (now Nestle) packing Easter eggs.

That was in August. :)
