We may all be in lock-down at the moment, but that’s even more reason to let our creative juices out and see what amazing things we can create!
Inspired by a friend’s birthday, I decided to make a chocolate and slivered almond ‘green man’, complete with edible 23 carat gold flakes, adhered to the chocolate with a paste I made from Scotch Whisky.
He cracked up a little in the process, but I figure we are all a little cracked up at present…
…but who is the ‘green man’?
He is an ancient mythological character covered in foliage, primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth and representing the cycle of new growth.
Rather than me go into more detail here, the Historic UK website has an excellent article: https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-Green-Man/
PS: this particular green man is no more… but he tasted delicious!
