I bought biodegradable disposable plates made from potatoes.
And while I was at work this morning, the beagle ate them. She has always liked potatoes.

2. I had a corn fork once.
Looked just like a plastic fork, maybe a little thicker in the handle, but it was a fork made outta corn. I lost it, and I'm sad.


How dirty is the phrase "corn fork"?

8. I am not too astonished.
I am pretty sure if you just took those plates and cooked them in hot water for 24 hrs you would have mashed potatoes. Add a little butter, sour cream and chives and you would have the usual crap tasting instant mashed spuds.

9. Do those plates actually exist?
Or is this something that's going over my head?

10. Those sound great
if you find you have no food in the house, throw the plate in the microwave and a little ketchup....
