From the website:
‘Lawn takes the comfort of the grassed yard and updates the media to dirt and grass jelly bellys, which are named and event taste of dirt and grass. This comforting retro-landscape takes on a twist when the lawn is made of an edible medium, and not able to be walked on.
For other edible & chocolate arts, see Stevie’s aptly named website: Sugart.

Arthur Boyt is writing a recipe book for roadkill.
"It’s good meat for free and I know nobody has been messing with it and feeding it with hormones and growth accelerants and so on. It’s just natural, fully organic meat."
Some of his more unusual meals have included a greater horseshoe bat and otter. He regularly eats badger, rabbit, deer, weasel, hedgehog, squirrel and fox.
"I’ve lived off roadkill for the last 30 years or so. It adds to the pleasure of a meal to know I haven’t paid for it," said Mr Boyt, whose wife Su is a vegetarian.
Hm, I guess it’s obvious why his wife is a vegetarian!
