Fine dining with Jelly Beans

I was just reading about someone recreating the flavors of Alinea restaurant in Chicago with Jelly Belly jelly beans.  Food blog http://michelehumes.com/ has created a meal of jelly beans based on Alinea's menu. 

With dishes like Distillation of Thai Flavors (2 jalapeno, 1 sardine, half grass and half Sunkist lemon jelly beans), sturgeon, potato, leek and smoke (2 sardine, half mashed potato, half onion jelly beans while smoking a cigerette), and hot potato, cold potato, black truffle, butter (3 mashed potato, half dirt, half butter jelly beans).

I think this was an interesting approach in creating a fine dining flavor profile. 

After researching and not finding some of the flavors listed on the Jelly Belly website I found that some of the jelly bean flavors used were also in the Harry Potter Bertie Bott's Jelly Beans, currently not on the jelly belly webpage.
