Officially, the most delicious edible clothes are chocolate Liederhosen of Das Herr Schmieklegrupper Patissertailors of Old Dusseldorf. According to the Journal of Consumable Clothing, "The family tradition of edible pantaloons stretches back at least 3 generations, to the 1892 debut of Heinrich Schmieklegrupper's marzipan bathing suits. Today, Frank Schmieklegrupper maintains his families traditions with aplomb."
