Knitted food

This cheeseburger is made of yarn. Go ahead, click it to see it larger.
It's from a Japanese book called Food knit that you can buy on Amazon (I think). Little text, no patterns, but if you know what you're doing you can probably reverse-engineer the process.
More photos from the book here at this Food Knit post at Fleegle's Blog. The photo at the top of this item came from there.
There's a lot of this out there, a cult of simulations. Glancing around, it's apparent that smaller needles work better than large for items that are normally smooth.
There are some patterns here, but the results are often coarse.
