Thin sheets of filo pastry could be (half) baked so they are still flexible yet do not stick together. They could then be strapped together somehow to form a book, in which the owner could write addresses and schedules and stuff. When full, the "filo-pastry-fax" could then be re-cooked and eaten as either a savoury or sweet.

[...obsessed with eating their words?] Good one, Peter. It has to be some sort of anxious compulsion, all right.

I thought this was going to be about a facsimile machine. Perhaps a thermal print head could be used to bake an image into filo dough?

Of course, you could use a banana leaf instead of filo pastry, but then you'd have a palm-pilot rather than a filo-fax.
Or should that be a date leaf?
Talking of which, I seem to be taking one from PeterSealy's book here.
Not sure about the processed cheese though - 'e dam well better come up with a better idea than that if he wants to bake this one.

"You'll eat those words" would make a decent addition to the tagline list, but I'll leave it for Peter to contribute, since it's really his idea.
