The joy of triangular food


Everyone knows that for some strange reason, triangular shaped food and food ‘with holes in’ kick arse. We have no idea why, but it’s true! (I bet if you want those stubborn kids to eat cabbage-liver paste, you could just rearrange the stuff into a triangle, tell them it is alien food and they’d go nuts for it).

Proof:

Toblerone... mmmmm

Samoosas... mmmmm

Even the humble sandwich is made infinitely more appealing when cut into triangles

Sandwiches...mmmmm

Stuff with holes in:
Cheese...mmmm

...you get the picture yeah?



Just recently my unquestioning trust in triangular foods was betrayed by a samoosa (most divine of all deep-fried delicacies…mmmmm). Who doesn’t enjoy dipping a samoosa corner into sauce before having that first bite? I know I eat them that way 9 times out of 10… in any case one thing about samoosas is that it is impossible to guess the flavour till you have bitten into one. This is normally part of the fun and mystery of them, until you dip a sweet coconut and sugar flavour samoosa into chilli sauce… ‘nuf said. People should at least have the decency to separate savoury samoosas from sweet ones. I’m scarred now… FOR LIFE!!!


In any case, by using simple logic and maths I have come up with a most ingenious food. I call it…

EEbEE’s Wunder-Cookie (pronounced with a German accent i.e. “Voon’der-Kookie”)

The Wunder-cookie looks a little scary, I'm not going to lie. I can't say I'd try one when given the chance. It just looks a little...pointy...

okay so I photoshopped someone elses cookie. the real deal will be much better.

also what's wrong with pointy? samoosas are rarely blunt...

in any case you're a vegetarian Luke so you don't count!

You poor thing! I'm sure the coconut-sugar-chili taste will go away eventually...

Yay. Wunder-cookies for all!

The only way i can actually put this one to bed is by actually baking some and watching the responses from people and not just the cookie monster and vegetarians...
