It’s a carrot-cature fit for a king.

Crown Carveries, a humble pub and restaurant chain in England, has transformed one of the official royal engagement photographs into edible art to honor Wills and Kate, who tie the knot in just 12 weeks. The ingredients all come from the roast, a meal English families traditionally enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. Turkey provides the couple with skin, gravy defines their facial features, and beef forms their hair. As for clothing, green beans and sprouts create Will’s shirt, while carrots give Kate her dress.

The vegetable-based masterpiece took a food artist four hours to stir up, according to a statement released on the Crown Carveries web site. The company, which serves all-you-can-eat roasts for $6, isn’t taking itself—or the publicity stunt—too seriously.

“The menu choice for the big day has sparked much debate, and as Crown Carveries is the most regal carvery brand in the U.K, we wanted to produce the first official ‘fork-trait’ using all the majestic ingredients found on one of our princely banquets – a roast with all the trimmings – to give the happy couple a tasteful memento of their special day.” (via Slashfood)
