Many years ago I saw a thing on tv that China or some other East Asian country made rice into edibles cups and whatnot. Not sure how though.

just put everything in a pie crust or waffle cone

>>7920605
we do you retard, but you have to have a perfectly trimmed beard and manbun to eat where they serve them

>>7920605
We did. They were called trenchers iirc. they were basically plates made of bread. You would give them as alms to the poor or to the dogs.

You can easily pound into a mochi-ish consistency then harden into a a relatively usable vessel for containing water or other such liquids, or I guess into a dish if you'd rather.

Readily available "edible" dishes would have to be regulated by the FDA, and would have expiration dates, and then the issue comes with "what the fuck do you flavor them?", the only thing that would be inoffensive to everyone would be "communion wafer cardboard flavor" and then nobody would buy the shittin things.

Trust me when I say edible cups/plates have been heavily considered by even some major food manufacturers, but tossed aside for a plethora of reasons.
also like >>7920645 said they were best used for soups and shit anyway.

According to a supposed food scientist who posted here vanilla is the commonly held favorite flavor and is in any food research lab. I would guess they would give it a vanilla flavor.

>>7920657
God forbid they sell more than one flavour

But the bottom of the plate would be touching the table so you'd be effectively eating off the table. Or would you put another plate under the plate and 'yo dawg' it?
