Edible Mousse Filled Packing Cases

This is a better resolved version of a previous posting, hurriedly deleted.

In order to protect delicate, valuable items from damage in transit, many of us use bubble wrap, polystyrene or similar material, which is thrown away at our destination. This is costly, wasteful and potentially harmful to the environment.

I suggest filling liquid-proofed edible boxes (thick rice paper?) with delicious, sweet, though necessarily highly viscous, gelatinous, long-life milk based fruit mousse. This not only protects the contents, but will provide those moving with a nutritious, healthy dish to replenish the energy expended during the moving process, when the cases are un packed on arrival.

Moreover, the mousse could be used as an 'icebreaker' to introduce yourself to your new neighbours.

The possiblities are endless - any manner of fruit would be suitable, as would chocolate, coffee, even savories like pate, mince or smoked salmon.

Clearly the delicate items will need a little cleaning on arrival, but this only serves to ensure that they will be pristinely clean from your very first day of residence.

Any excess mousse could easily be frozen and eaten at a later date.
