Bubblewrap pasta

You can make bubblewrap from sheets of plastic. You can make sheets of pasta. Therefore you can make pasta in the form of bubblewrap.

The eating experience would be heightened by the popping of the bubbles in your mouth, each one filled during manufacturing with various scents (thyme, truffles, coriander, etc.).

       Sheets of bubblewrap pasta can be used to make diet lasagne

       Diet. Lasagne. Two words rarely found in the same sentence.

       In fact, there's no reason this couldn't be used for packing fragile objects and then the recipient could cook it - tasty, recyclable packaging.

       Would the pasta be somehow transparent?

       no
hippo, Nov 11 2008
  

       Would it be sort of coy?

       Wouldn't they pop as the gas expanded in the boiling water?
Then again there's always al dente.
  

       >pop<

       My pasta cooks best when it is underwater. Wouldn't this just bob around on the surface without cooking properly?   

       Perhaps some kind of steaming technology would cook it.

       [Fishfinger] Yes - now, if only we knew where to find a group of people good at quickly coming up with impractical technology solutions...

       Microsoft?

       Without walls, there's nowhere to put them anyways.

       Some kind of extended sieve attachment to the inside of the lid of the pot, methinks.   

       Excellent idea.

       Yay! gonflable pasta.

       Well, if you don't insist on "quickly", just about any major Defence-sector contractor will be able to assist, bearing in mind the 8 to 10 year lead time arising from the specification and tendering cycles ....

       Fill 'em with helium, then your voice would get funny while eating it.

       I might be around here a bit more now, I was made redundant an hour ago. Bollocks, it's not even the summer!
