Interlocked links of pasta.
The box contains one entire length of pasta chain on a spool inside, with a length counter on its outside and a chart of length per serving so you'll never make too much or too little again.

I really like this idea. Would go great with mac-and-cheese. |
|
| |
Work great with pho also. |
|

Mealtimes with my 3 ratbags would be disgusting - they'd hold as long a chain as possible in the air and feed it into their mouths. Still it would be an improvement on the 'eat a whole meal without using your hands at all' game. |

My eldest would probably create numerous necklaces with these too. [+] |
|
| |
Might make chopsticks easier too. |

.... think you need to get a bigger box [see link - (no pun
intended)] + |
|
| |
Croissant, but do you have even the foggiest notion how to make these? |

Next up, spaghetti weaving tecnology, of which [dare99] beat me to with the "loom" |

Funny you should ask that [DrCurry] it's been bugging me all day that I didn't have a production method figured out.
Having pondered it, I think you would have to start with lengths of hard pasta that would be steamed to a soft enough consistency to be fed into a curve/cut/splicer and then rapidly heated to fuse the open ends.
Once the pasta re-hardens in a loop, the shape should be strong enough to hold as a chain even if a small gap remains in the individual links. |
|
| |
Perhaps a simple chain knot? Then you could unravel it as two of you slurp it together, romantically. |
|
| |
I think you'd make it however they make big steel chains. I'm envisioning a set of rollers that have link molds around their rims, but I'd best do some research. |

[Later] Well, I looked for chain manufacturing, and found a site. It said something about benders, flash butt welders and stud presses, so my computer's porn filter won't let me go any further. |

[normzone] The Pho Dac Biet! It has everything else. |

(I was told the "o" was pronounced like the "i" in bird but without the following "r") |
|

Now why didn't I think of this? |

Interlocking pastries for you! |

makes watching tv so much better, once you start you dont have to take your eyes away from the screen to put a spoon in your mouth. |

An example of socio-culinary misinterpretation I'm afraid. The whole point of noodles being long strings rather than blobs or rings or balls or chains or croissant shapes or any other shape is that they represent long life. |

You can only hope that the fish frame above is that of a carp, whose stoic acceptance of the cook's knife may inspire you to take my withering demolition of this idea with similar courage :) |
