It's 1949, and Bermuda Valentine, top
Russian spy has just read his secret
mission brief in the isolted concrete
bunker he is hiding in. At the end of the
page, there is an instruction: 'eat after
reading to prevent this falling into enemy
hands'.
Bermuda, who isn't too keen on eating
paper decides instead to hide it in the
corner of the room. Little does he know
that, just 5 minutes after he leaves, the
enemy discovers the discarded paper! He
is taken prisoner and executed by the
enemy soldiers, wishing he'd had the guts
to eat the page instead of throwing it
away.
My new innovation is this - paper spies
actually like to eat! It would be made out
of ricepaper, and could be flavoured
according to the spies personal tastes.
They could add vitamin compounds for
extra nutrition, and for spies with '00'
status, a special layer of sauce in the
middle (lemon, chocolate, treacle or
ketchup)

This is Baked. During WW2, the US signals teams in Normandy - particularly the ones that dropped with the 82nd and 101st Airborne in the vanguard of the D-Day attack - were provided with tiny codebooks printed on ricepaper, which they were instructed to eat in case of capture or risk of capture. |

The innovation here is flavor. Well, putting in a flavoring agent. That's not quite the forbidden-in-the-HB just-another-fracking-flavor bit, but if the original flavor IS rice, anything else is another flavor. |

Is rice paper not just celluose, but derived from a different source? Seems like it wouldn't be any more edible than normal paper. |
|
| |
no, you can eat riceapaper |
|
| |
its not haute cuisine, but with flavouring, it
would certainly be more edible than
normal paper |
|

Well, there's several things that get named rice paper, some of which have nothing to do with rice. There's even a ricepaper plant, that has nothing to do with rice. |

Rice straw, the cellulose stalks, can be made into rice paper, which is much like wood paper, although usually made thinner--tracing paper, if you want. Rice grains, the edible starch of them, can be made into noodles, wrappers and edible sheets that are kinda like paper--so that is a food item that could be called rice paper. |
|
| |
So one should be clear which kind of rice paper is referred to. It all can be eaten, if the freedom of the world is at stake. |

Why, oh why, in this day and age are we so concerned with paper, edible or otherwise. |

Let me introduce to you the wonders of aspic jelly. The ability to laminate sheets of aspic, or compose directly into the 3D realm, provides a method for a veritable decoupage of obfuscated commmands. This means you can code and transport entire books, never mind short, ambiguous instructions. With the added benefit of palatability. For our vegetarian agents, we do supply Agar-agar jellies. |
