Food: Shape
Lego Cold Cuts and Food   (+3)  [vote for, against]
Big sandwiches are very slippery.

I love mayo. But it's slippery.

Cold cuts and cheeses (and heck why not lettuce) can be thin slices of lego shaped heaven (the flat lego base pieces, not the normal thicker ones).

The slices interlock with each other, and the bread can also be accordingly "nubbed" for integration. It'll be more effort to make a lego sandwich (now there IS a top and bottom to each cold cut) but it will be well worth it.

Lego crockery can also be an offshoot -- for airplane rides to ensure that the sandwich won't slide off the plate during ascent/descent.

The lego nubs provide the added benefit during discussions of how big a bite someone took -- "Did you see him take an eight- nub bite out of that turkey club ?"

For now, pressing the cold cuts into lego-shaped conformity is going to have to suffice, but SOMEDAY when Genetic engineering is REALLY taking hold, we can have the Lego cold cuts grown right off the Lego bone. (NOTE: GM is not being suggested here, but just a wish-list, so please don't MFD me)

I know we've had Lego jello here before, so perhaps this is redundant or should be an anno to that... But I'm hoping it has enough legs to stand on its own.

Will that be a Lego Croissant or Lego Fishbone ?

I have seen lego candy, so I'm guessing this is not too far away from baking.

[po} Knobby bits are result of pressing cold cuts into shape, then stacking. Heck.. if we can do it with plastic, then why not turkey ?!
