Here's something I found through Dark Roasted Blend, which I'm not sure is an active site anymore but at least hasn't been taken down. It's miniature food, like for example four tacos that can fit on a quarter. Someone named Jessica Hlavac is responsible for this. I know pretty much nothing about her. Another site says that the foods aren't edible, but I have to credit Hlavac with getting the textures of foods down pat.
Coming to a dollhouse near you? Maybe.

While I don't check on DRB all that often I do visit the site from time to time and there's always a new list of links - so maybe they update monthly these days.
I liked seeing the miniature food items Jessica Hlavac creates. She's definitely clever but she's far from the only one making teeny food sculptures. From what I could find it appears making stuff using polymer clay has become a very popular hobby. The clays have also become much more sophisticated than they were when they first appeared 50+ years ago much as I remember Inger making a tiny hand holding a red heart.
Speaking of inedible food remember the tricks advertisers use to make food appear delicious? Ewww.. I think I'd prefer eating a polymer clay grape.
I used to check it all the time because for a while it was my homepage in Opera. Then I switched to Vivaldi as my main non-Chrome, non-Explorer browser, and Vivaldi doesn't have homepages. But it's still there in its glory. I wonder who runs it.
It's certainly not something I see every day. But I guess if there's one person who pursues an interest there's likely to be a few more. Polymer clay sounds like a good tool for creative people, Inger being among them.
Some of those food-preservation tricks are worse than others. Holding a sandwich together with toothpicks is familiar to anyone who's ordered a club sandwich, although eventually you have to take the toothpicks out and take your chances. The "syrup" on pancakes really being motor oil is a nasty shock, though.
