Only the Brits could hatch a scheme like this. Starting June 24th, London’s Barbican Art Gallery will be selling “Occult Jam” made by darlings of the culinary art world, Bompas and Parr. With names straight from Hogwarts, the pair Sam Bompas and Harry Parr, are famous for their wild food related adventures, having previously create a jelly shaped like St. Paul’s Cathedral, a futurist aerobanquet, and scratch-and-sniff cinema, have now created a series of jams infused with “powerful artifacts.” For purchase will be absinthe and pineapple jam made with sand from the pyramids; plum and oak jelly with wood from Lord Nelson’s ship The HMS Victory; and most of all, milk jam with a speck of Princess Di’s hair.
What are you waiting for? It’s time to book those tickets to London. It would be hell if they ran out before you snagged a jar.
Sand in the jam? Sounds like it would spoil a good sandwich…

The sand-jelly doesn’t actually HAVE sand in it, does it? Because I can think of many reasons why eating sand in your food is a Bad Thing.
