No more soggy sandwiches!
Imagine a clear edible film that comes in sandwich-sized
sheets. You simply place a sheet between the bread and
the condiment. Hey, you could even produce them with
vitamins or calcium.

I thought that was what the butter or margerine was for - to provide a hydrophobic barrier to stop the bread getting soggy. |
|
| |
I would be nice if this was available wouldn't it? |
|
| |
Rice paper, with a thin layer of edible wax or fat on one side ? |
|
| |
Surely, it would reduce the adhesion between the filling and the bread, leading to slippage ? |
|
| |
This is why freshly-prepared sandwiches are superior. But perhaps you could pull the film out immediately before eating. |
|

I do like that thought, potted. bit like adding toner to the photocopier. something holds the sandwich fast to the box as you yank the plastic sheet out. |
|
| |
mind you, soggy tomato sandwiches are rather lovely. |

In Japanese supermarkets you can buy all sorts of tasty
snacks which consist of something wrapped in a ball of
sticky rice. Typically there are also sheets of dried
seaweed involved which if allowed to get moist become
leathery and inedible. I remember these being beautifully
wrapped in clingfilm in such a way that as they are
unwrapped sheets of clingfim are pulled out from
between the rice and the seaweed and from between the
rice and any other dry or crispy filling. This origami-like
interleaving of food and clingfilm left me in awe of the
packaging designers and should be easily applicable to
sandwiches. |

Lovely, condiments exploding in your mouth like roe. |
|
| |
(hmmm, "condiment caviar.") |

only Nick@Nite can make the contents of a sandwich sound like something my mechanic might do to my car's engine on its six month service. |
|
| |
Could it be wrapped around the perimeter of the sandwich, to keep the condiments from falling next to my tie? |
|
| |
Perhaps some kind of edible, modified spray adhesive? |

It has been adapted for sandwiches in Japan. |
