Excellent idea. And perfect for the driver who is in
the car and can't find their napkin. Not that I would
ever eat and drive. Or eat a sticky pastry for that
matter. + But for those that do! |
|
|
Questioning what the spots will be marked with? |
|
|
[xdm] I'm not sure - it could be just an area of unglazed pastry, although then your fingers might get greasy from the buttery goodness of the pastry - alternatively I think it could be something like a mint leaf, stuck to the pastry.
[nmr] Yes, eating a Danish pastry limits my talking... - you're right, extensive testing will be required. |
|
|
After baking, stick a few squares of rice paper (the
edible kind) onto the pastry. |
|

This idea rather suggests that there is a way to eat a danish pastry other than laying it on your desk, just afore yr keyboard, and going at it maw agape and hands-free, your forehead making occasional contact with the spacebar. I am somewhat incredulous that there could be such a way and posit that hippo is havering. |
|
|
[calum] that is too funny! |

I picture a Danish Pastry Grip...more like a tool. You
slide the pastry into the gripper and eat it in a
circular motion! |
|

In Cornwall (which, coincidentally, owes much of its
culture to Danish emigré tin miners), there is a
traditional bun called a Darley Cake (or, in Cornish, a
Tesen Dewgorn), which is shaped rather like a
croissant, only more bent. It is dipped in a mixture
of sugar syrup and crushed hazelnuts, leaving the
two horns bare to act as hand-holds. |

[+] what [blissmiss] said; also ^ horned pastry woot. |

So, that explains the 2008 financial crash.. |
|
|
//owes much of its culture to Danish emigré tin miners |
|
|
Pardon? Closest I could find is "16th century when open cast mining was used. German miners came in who had knowledge of the new techniques." |

|
|
Thing is, this was entire culture that persisted for
centuries. You might expect them to have time to
make a set of ornamental wheels, at the very least. |

I wonder what the Bronze age home-shopping channel (BAHSC) had to say about these? |
|
|
Very interesting, two fingers and no thumb, edge on, back-handed. But dropped 2 crumbs. That's 5 from me. |

|
Maybe (as [MechE] suggests) rice paper is the
answer. A tiny pad of rice paper Post-It notes would
be useful here, and could be used with any sticky
foodstuff. |
|
|
I vote post-its. Could be recycled for messages to
strangers passing by, though a little sticky and
stained. |
