I was in Wal-Mart store this afternoon picking up some things I left off my list for Saturday (yes, I go to Wal-Mart more than once a week) and I thought I would cruise over to the seasonal isle to see what there was to see (and get some chocolate bunnies).  To my surprise I see this on the shelf….

Edible Easter Grass Imported from Germany….

strawberry flavored no less (there was also orange flavored).  The stuff looks like pink shredded paper or weed whacker wire…

This stuff is made out of potato starch and corn starch with flavoring.  Because I know you are all wondering what Edible Easter grass taste like, I ate a little.  Good news is that it doesn’t taste like real grass or that grass stuff you use in Easter baskets, bad news is that it is almost tasteless.  I can taste the potato and after a few mouthfuls I can taste strawberry, kinda.  From what I have been able to gleam in a few seconds of Googling, the stuff was created as a green alternative to plastic grass as it is biodegradable.

I’m waiting patiently for the edible Easter basket (or rather the life-size edible Playboy Easter bunny).
