Custard powered self heating bun

A future iced bun filled with special self warming custard. Once a fresh bun is squeezed an edible vile/vial inside the techno custard breaks and the custard warming begins.

In a few seconds a warm custard eco bun is created.

One would hope that the warming chemicals taste extra nice!

If you don't live in Fife or Dundee, look away now. Not self-heating. [pocmloc, Nov 26 2009]

       Hmmmm. It's gonna be salty.   

       if the bun is vile, then who's going to want it on their plate?

       No, I think that the inside of such a bun is likely to be both edible, and vile.

       We need a special croissant for Thanksgivng. But this may not be it.

       Sodium acetate would do this and is edible. It even has an E number. However, it's also the flavouring agent in salt and vinegar flavoured crisps.

       I was hoping for a controlled combustion of custard powder to heat the bun.

       I think the bun is meant to be complete at the end of the explosion - I mean heating process, not splattered all over the ceiling.

       [pocmloc] not all gunpowder uses causes explosions. Maybe dough-enclosed custard powder could be used to create a mortar that shoots these comestibles towards eager customers ...

       Ah you mean using it as rocket fuel?
pocmloc, Nov 26 2009
  

       Maybe the bun could implode. It could begin as a chamber filled with powdered ingredients suspended in pure oxygen, then be compressed and cook itself by the resultant combustion. Some of the ingredients would have to be non-flammable. Talcum powder maybe?
nineteenthly, Nov 26 2009
  

       [pocmloc] Yes, involve a bun in a some form of extreme combustion like that it is bound to heat up. Hopefully we could trade destruction for locomotion.   

       Although my physics does not extend to implosions, [nineteenthly], that does sound spectacular.
Aristotle, Nov 26 2009
  

       Well, it's become an idea now.
