When I baked bread in the past, I found that dough adhering to my forearms would yank out the hairs when I peeled it off. If a person with unwanted facial hair were to apply dough to their beard area, halfbake it with just tolerable heat and then take that off, they would probably have moved a substantial portion of the hair. They could then complete the baking process and have a small flat loaf or pizza base to eat full of extra roughage in the form of hair, which would eventually become a surgically removable gastric hairball, which someone could surely make up a story about it being medically beneficial and sell, either to desperately I'll people or maybe an art gallery.-- nineteenthly, Feb 18 2016 Ergotism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ErgotismSt Anthony's Fire [8th of 7, Feb 18 2016] St. Elmo's Fire https://en.wikipedi...i/St._Elmo%27s_fireWhat I thought the above link's description was referring to, at first, which confused me. [notexactly, Feb 20 2016] What this idea shows is the extreme inadvisability of home-baking bread using mouldy rye flour.

It's not hallucinogenic though, so you get the black without the fire.-- nineteenthly, Feb 18 2016 It's going to be one of those days...-- normzone, Feb 18 2016 Gluten free?-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Feb 19 2016 Least threatening pirate name ever.-- tatterdemalion, Feb 20 2016 I was thinking sourdough.-- nineteenthly, Feb 20 2016 This may be a crumby idea.-- normzone, Feb 20 2016 random, halfbakery
