Marked and easily identifiable
non-sticky areas on Danish pastries such that they can be gripped at these points without subsequent transference of stickiness to fingers and thence onwards to one's keyboard, mouse, phone, spouse, etc.

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. |

|

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." |

//Blew me away when I visited the museum.// |
|
| |
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. |

Over here we have cutlery. |
