[Sca-cooks] It's a Wrap

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

It's fruit leather... I've made it for years.  ;-)

OK, so maybe I wouldn't use peach for a sandwich, but you can make 
tomato leather... that might work. There are  two problems that 
immediately spring to my mind, at least...

One is that fruit leather tends to attract moisture in humid weather 
(such as we have recently had, here in the East)  and the whole thing 
might break down into a sticky mess. If you got it so dry that would not 
be a problem, I'm not sure how pliable it would be.

The other is that I wrap my sandwich so I can toss it in a bag and keep 
it clean... I'm not sure I want the part I plan to eat rubbing up 
against the inside of the bag, and my wallet, and my...  If I'm putting 
it in something, I'm still putting it in something, and there's no 
reason I can't just put it in that to begin with (whether I'm going to 
toss it or reuse it... I'm partial to reusable plastic containers, 
myself. And then I don't need plastic wrap.) 

It's an interesting thought, though...
