# Instruments Made of Food Ocarina By Howard Wu | Published 2008-05-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocarina-musical-food References: [en.wikipedia.org](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocarina) Ocarina is described by Wikipedia as a [flute-like wind instrument](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phase8), made of various mediums, with origins in Chinese and Mesopotamian cultures. However, the more unique version of Ocarina as referenced in the [Youtube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopstix) video produced here, is produced from [various vegetables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project). In other YouTube features, the same artist has performed several songs using mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, squash, and even lettuce. This is yet another artistic novelty that cannot continue to escape from the media masses.
