Answer:
Dear John,
Silver foil ( chandi ki warq ) Indian hand craft specially made in Lucknow India, each silver foil stretch as a paper thin, tumbsized piece of silver. A number of these silver thumbnail are stretched up between leather pieces and a gentleman hammers until the silver is stretched ten times bigger than it was. This is like one man factory job can't be made by machines.
We don't get this in Europe because Indian silver foil does not conform to Western health standards.You can buy really edible foil from shops which sell professional confectionary ingredients such as www.mora.fr.
As you said you are in UK, I think you should try to get from Indian sweet shops, you go there and their sweet if they decorating with the silver foil then you can request for yourself, there are lot of Indian sweet shops in UK, I hope you got the answer.
