Breaking Miniature Food News

Following up on a piece I wrote earlier this week about konapun, Japan’s miniature-cooking phenomenon, I discovered that there exists an edible alternative, called Popin’ Cookin’, which replaces the sodium alginate with good old powdered sugar.

One might justifiably remark on the discrepancy between the form of the miniature food (pizza, say) and the flavor (fondant).

One ought to be less of a pedant.
