A finger puppet fantasy



I don't remember why but I was thinking a lot about chocolate fingers which then led me to seriously consider the concept of chocolate prosthetics. I know that they would be entirely impractical but I think as novelty gifts to one of your single- legged chums, such a thing would go down well, quite literally. Just imagine being able to eat one of your own chocolate limbs-they could be hollowed out like the chocolate bunnies you get at easter, that way you wouldn't be lugging a heavy load around. You would have to stay close to refridgerated areas, sunbathing wouldn't be advised but hell that would be entertaining-kind of like watching a snowman melt, you could observe your Uncle Bob's trouser leg slowly deflate in the sun and ooze chocolatey liquid all over his sun lounger. Anyway, back to the post title: My train of thought began with the choccy fingers, digressed as I contemplated eating my very own chocolate leg, then finally took a u-turn back to more digit related delicacies such as various finger foods. I am really keen to knit an array of finger food puppets, a volauvent on one finger, a sausage roll on another, perhaps a chicken wing and a crisp for them to flirt with. Unfortunatley I can't remember how to knit, and it would be just plain crazy to try and create such characters using actual food.
