I am of course veggie, which makes me bad for posting this.
Stargazy pie is a pie made with fish heads looking up out of
the crust. It does not appeal. However, the lenses of fish
eyes are clearly lenses and work well as a way of focussing an
image, and since fish heads are edible, so presumably
are fish
eyes.
So: Make a tube of laver, support it with rice starch and place
a fish eye at either end, having cored out the retina. Given
the correct focal length, you will then have sushi which can
be used as a telescope, or in pairs as field glasses.

But can you sneak it in to see a movie? |

You Brits have a knack for creating the most god-awful food
creations this side of heaven. |

When are you going to learn to simply make it all out of
industrial chemicals like we do in the States? |

One of these days, I'll get around to cooking a stargazey pie
with a single rat's snout in the very centre. |

Have you heard of "lutefisk", which translates into English
approximately as "soap"? |
|
| |
Lutefisk (Norwegian) or lutfisk (Swedish) is a traditional dish of some Nordic countries. Lye fish is a god awful concoction. It would not make a telescope. |

It sounds like you might be able to use it to polish the lenses
though. |

//When are you going to learn to simply make it all out of industrial chemicals like we do in the States?// That's very unfair on American food. They actually pass the industrial chemicals through livestock and plants before feeding them to people. |

Interestingly*, van Leeuwenhoek's first microscopes had a single powerful lens taken from cod. |
