jdgm Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 As we all enoy a foodie thread.......yum or yuk? Edible Wood – A Modern Delicacy with a Rustic Flair http://www.molecularrecipes.com/molecular-gastronomy/edible-wood-modern-delicacy-rustic-flair/ Yacaratia; only available in Argentina. "You are probably thinking eating wood may be disgusting but it has a nice texture and interesting flavors as long as you like sweet stuff. The edible wood is soft, soaked in syrup or honey and fibrous, and is also available in flavored jams with sawdust or chocolate bonbons. Edible wood is also packed with nutrients and it is a great source of fiber. It contains magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and fiber." BTW if you eat grated cheese you may have eaten sawdust which is sometimes added to the cheese to keep it from all sticking together. I like maple syrup...bamboo shoots in Chinese food. Now let's go chew some headstock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx-ogre Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Interesting. We had a mope here in the States names Euell Gibbons many years ago. He was a "talking head" for Grape Nuts cereal and tree hungers everywhere. His famous saying was, "Ever eat a pine tree? Most parts are edible." He died after vapor-locking at age 64. A certain amount of irony, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Well its more authentic than a Yule Log, but at least you never got splinters with chocolate. This is properly seasoned wood right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just another vegetable really. An article in one of the 'Food Unwrapped'-type TV programs investigated how the filling in factory-made, shop-bought pies and pasties stayed moist on the shelves for a fairly long time whereas that of freshly-cooked home-made pies hardened and dried out relatively quickly. The answer was the factory-produced fare used cellulose fibres derived from wood (*) in the filling-stock to keep the product saleable for weeks rather than a day or two. As an added benefit there is evidence which suggests cellulose can also aid in keeping one's movements, erm, regular.... Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glp2012 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The edible wood is soft, soaked in syrup or honey... Well, that says it all for me. You could put syrup or honey on almost anything to make it taste good...really, this sounds like Baklava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
