When people get a bland and flavourless meal, the
common
exclamation is "This tastes like Cardboard." The diner is
unhappy and the cook saddened and/or angry.
The most straightforward way to address this unhappy
situation is to improve the flavour of cardboard. At
worst,
it creates ambivalence
in the cook's mind as to whether
or not
they've been insulted.
In my
experience, anything sauteed in butter with a little
brown
sugar and a touch of cinnamon is quite palatable. Feel
free to come up with your own culinary improvements - I
wouldn't want you to feel boxed in.

Your suggestion is a recipe involving cardboard. I think this is a misguided approach. The cardboard itself should be manufactured in a way that improves its intrinsic flavour. |
|
|
Perhaps by using shreeded dried toasted banana flakes instead of wood pulp as the raw material? Or something like that. |

Question: does British cardboard taste better or
worse than French cardboard? And does American
cardboard have more calories and preservatives? |
|
|
I feel bad for cardboard. I never thought of how cardboard
must feel. I'm an Empath and I absorb other things negative
feelings. I'm sad now. (Virus, what virus.) |

And here's an upgrade for you, [AusCan531)... |

Cats love all things square and cardboard. Why not draw
them in even quicker with the scent of their favorite fishy
embedded in the cardboard boxes that Amazon delivers
daily. |
|
|
The bigger the box, the more cats you can fit in. I'd pay
extra shipping for the fun my cat would benefit from.
Wouldn't have to be stinky, just a subtle smell only the cat
would be able to sense. |

You can get more cats in the same box if you use a mechanical or hydraulic press. |

Is there a possibility of combining the Schrödinger's Cat experiment with the twin slit experiment, putting two cats in a sealed box ? Hmmmm .... <sniggering/> |
|
|
Thanks, [bliss]. A fruitful avenue of research has just opened up ... |

Your observational skills are disconcertingly incisive; you're looking forward to either great wealth, power and fame, pubic odium and condemnation followed by ostracism*, or a visit from a hit-man**. |

He might have been quite a successful president, if he hadn't been assassinated. |
