- The day may come when gourmands ordering the blue-plate
- special at their favorite restaurant will be served . . . a plate.
- An enterprising Asian manufacturer, the Taiwan Sugu Co., last week
- launched a line of plates and bowls that not only hold food but
- are food. Fashioned from wheat, they resemble standard disposable
- dinnerware right down to a glossy finish. What seems to be the
- world's first edible table setting could be the ultimate in
- biodegradability -- if humans don't consume their cutlery and
- plates, wildlife is likely to finish the job. Introduction in
- American fast-food restaurants is anticipated in perhaps six
- months.
