A friend of mine grew near a Catholic monastery which fabricated wafers. The nuns gave the offcuts to the children, and they ate them with Nutella.
The missing “up” there makes me think that your friend is, in fact, a tree near a monastery, and somehow, through the power of friendship, you are able to speak with this tree, and he tells you stories of the olden days when the children would play and the nuns were kind, but firm.
I prefer your version, it’s now the headcanon of my and my friend’s lives.
I really want to write this as a children’s story. If your friend and you want to send stories I’ll do it. Lol
Your friend is a dryad!
Are you sure they were actual Jeez-Its and not just styrofoam?
Is it weird that I kinda want to make this now? It seems like it would be good lol I’m not a Catholic though so I’m not sure where I would get these communion wafers
You can buy em online. Communion wafers. They’re not considered “hosts” or sacred until after they’re consecrated. But I don’t know if this would actually work or not. You’re not supposed to chew them, but let them dissolve. As such, I’d imagine when you add the melted marshmallow they would just sort of turn into a blob of sugary bread. They’re like if potato chips tasted of nothing, and had the same reaction to moisture as Styrofoam does to gasoline

You’re making this idea seem better and better now 🤤
If you do it, please report back. I’m curious
As someone who’s eaten too many communion wafers: it would probably not be good. They’re so bland that it would be too sweet and they don’t have a strong enough structure to hold up to molten marshmallows, imo.
Everyone who wants to taste these: look up Oblaten at a baking supply store near you, they’re basically 20-30 cm diameter communion wafers, and they come in much smaller quantities than you’ll find at seminary stores. You probably won’t want to keep eating them, so it’s better to have to throw out five big ones than 499 small ones.
…or you could just slice off a thin piece of styrofoam and shove it into your mouth. Same taste and texture!
We’re trying to get off oil and you expect us to shove petroleum products in our mouths. SMH.
Hmmm… For a sustainable alternative press some very fine paper pulp into a cracker-like shape, let it dry, then shove it into your mouth.
As an alternative you could just take a bite out of a cereal box, making sure that the inside-the-box side of the cardboard is what hits your tongue first 👍
Oblaten are a little difficult to get in a lot of places that don’t use them regularly like the US. I’ve only ever seen them once at a specialty store and that was only for the holidays where people might make Lebkuchen.
You can buy communion wafers in bulk in most catholic bookstores, along with other cool stuff.
I’d probably like it. Those wafers are fun. Tasteless, but the texture is the same as those vanilla wafer cookies. With marshmallow fluff, it would actually taste good, too.
You can do it with potato chips too. Mix through some milk chocolate chips and its good, very weird but good.
More pixels. Less blur.
This one made me chuckle. Great 💩
