Frozen "P"s
Frozen Peas, pressed into the shape of a "P". | |
We have the technology to shape potato products into waffles, faces, and all manner of other shapes.
Why not do the same with other vegetables, like making "P" shapes out of peas? Find a different vegetable for each letter of the alphabet, obvious examples might be carrot "C"s and broad bean
"B"s.
Kids seem more prone to do something if it is gimmicky, so encouraging them to spell their names out of vegetables would encourage them to eat more vegetables. Even if they had to be coated in something tasty and deep fried to keep the correct shape, the variation of vitamins etc would be a benefit.
Prospective parents could name their kids according to what diet they wanted encourage their offspring towards later in life.
I love making rude words from Alphabetti Spaghetti, so maybe this would improve the diet of particularly silly adults, too. Remember, it's good to play with your food.

A Uk supermarket chain tried to use chocolate flavoured veg a few years ago. |
|
| |
Did they,[sufc]? Who was that, then? Sounds revolting. |
|
| |
As to the idea, much as I hate processed food (-) I have to admit that kids would probably go for it (+). You would perhaps have to puree the veg first and then extrude it into shapes. My guessing is that lots of people would develop an aversion to the letter S. Only Spinach and Sprouts from the usual vegetable suspects start with S and loads of people hate both (not me, yumyum). |

I'll have a P please Bob. |

One of my stepson's favourite jokes is a dinner time one. When someone at the table accidentally (or purposely) lets fall a petis pois, the immediate response is, "Oh no. You peed on the floor!", followed by much giggling and covering of mouth with hand. He never gets bored of this. |

</Sesame Street> Tonight's dinner was brought to you by: ... the letter "P" and the number "Mashed Potatoes" </ss> |

//The vegetables, not the kids. I know somebody would have asked.//
I'm croissanting this just for that annotation. |

peas are evil vegetables. I just can't stand them ... even the smell of them cooking makes me sick. Forming them into the shape of the letter "p" makes them no more appealing.
To make peas edible, we must campaign for the shape to change, the colour to change, the taste to change and the smell to change. Then, you might just have halfbaked something brilliant. |

// Forming them into the shape of the letter "p" makes them no more appealing. // |

But then you could eat them with a knife! |

- make them out of carrots with green dye? |
|
| |
How about peas filled with gravy ... bite of steak, bite of peas, meaty-gravy-goodness, just in the shape of peas |
|
| |
For the Ps you could add Yellow
Dye No. 1. |
|
| |
Could I have a yellow dye No.1 please, Bob? |

quince, vanilla bean, zarrow ...x? |
|
| |
Ban the name xena. It's the only answer. |
|
| |
Well, if all else fails one could chew xantham gum I
suppose. |
|
| |
Eggplant, rutabega and zucchini are all (currently) known by other names in the UK. Is this an international list or purely for use Stateside? |
|
| |
I think it should be international, otherwise we're screwed with E. |
|
| |
//Is this an international list[?]// Nope, it's not a list. We don't do lists. However, it is a product which, as well as giving parents a new way to vitaminize their kids, clearly has the potential to promote international relations. |
|
| |
Sartep to the rescue! I have the
missing answers... |
|
| |
E for Elderberry...
N for Nightshade...
Q for Quercus...
V for Vetch...
X for Xanthium strumarium...
Z for Zigadenus |
|
| |
Teaching about the letters is fine
and vegetables is even better, why
not also give people a lesson in
botany? |
|
| |
I thought Nightshade was deadly? |
|
| |
Shhhh! They're all deadly. I teach
a class that no one fails. Think of
the real life experience that this
teaches. |
|
| |
Including Elderberry? I'm sure I've eaten copious amounts in my childhood... |
|
| |
Maybe elderberry is more of a root
vegetable. |
|
| |
so its: eggplant, overthere? hah I make myelf laugh sometimes :) |
|
| |
Yeah what is it over where you are? |
|
| |
Yeah, nightshade's really bad for you. And is ironicly related to the tomato, of which I'm not very fond. |
