Does your office candy bowl need a little bling-bling? Maybe it's time to invest in some $500 "Beyond Gourmet" jelly beans, which are coated in 24-carat gold and sold in crystal jars. Says a press release Mogulite got its hands on: “Influenced by food deconstruction masters such as Jose Andreas and Ferran Adria of El Bulli ... ‘Beyond Gourmet’? jelly beans will enable one to create haute cuisine and exotic dishes." Does that mean we'll be able to replicate that Guinea-fowl terrine from Daniel in jelly-bean form? And do we want to? [Mogulite]
