I’m a big fan of food art. From frothy mint leaf designs in coffee to Angry Birds Bento Boxes. So when I hear that someone out there has taken the time to make food into dragons, I naturally go bananas. Apparently, this guy did too. Japanese artist Y_Yamaden is responsible for these culinary creations and you have to admit there is a striking amount of detail put into each one of these fruits. From Davy Jones to outrageous faces, there seems to be nothing this guy can’t sculpt into a banana.

I think I’d be a little more blown away if this looked like Jack Sparrow instead. Still, I won’t be catching scurvy after eating this little masterpiece.

The fact that these bananas still seem ripe after the presumably time-consuming sculpting process is pretty amazing if you ask me.
