Bertie Bott's "Every Flavour Beans"
This week's theme is "Anything that begins with the letter E"...seriously, I had no idea what to photograph! I went so far as to read through the dictionary, looking for inspiration, and still I was really struggling. I had a bowl of jelly beans on the table, and the grandkids were really fascinated with all the different colors and flavors, and it reminded me of a funny event many years ago.
When my granddaughter was only about 3 years old, she was a huge Harry Potter fan. She loved anything to do with Harry Potter. Her mother, my husband and I took her to a shopping mall, and when we got back in the car, I realized that her mother had bought her a box of jelly beans. Only they weren't ordinary jelly beans, they were Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. My granddaughter was eating them, and I remembered the book, and the types of flavors that were supposed to be in the Every Flavour Beans, so I was checking the box...sure enough, there were flavors such as Dirt, Soap and Grass...and flavors so gross, that I can't bring myself to name them! I asked my granddaughter how they tasted, and she said they were great! She kept eating them! So I had her give one to her grandpa (my husband) and we asked him what flavor it was. He got the strangest look on his face...it was sardine! So she didn't get to finish the box, although she really wanted to...after all, they were Harry Potter's!
I decided to get a bit creative and chose "Every Flavour Beans" for my image starting with E....even though I didn't have any actual Bertie Bott's beans, so regular Jelly Bellies are posing here...they do look very much alike, and the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans are actually made by Jelly Belly. If you are really curious (and brave) you can purchase the real beans on the internet...however they do taste terrible!
I hope this is acceptable for my interpretation this week...it's a stretch, but it was fun to do! : )
