  This is haram

    And it isn’t kosher.

      Weirdly enough it’s fine to eat if you’re catholic assuming they haven’t been blessed

      I’d still eat the whole tray and sleep like a baby.

  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.

    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 🤤

    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.

    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.

  I’ve never had those Catholic crackers. Are they any good?

  • kata1yst@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Imagine chewing on a thin slice of Styrofoam.

      You’d think they would taste better after they’re magically transformed into Jesus meat.

    They’re pretty bland. Kinda melt-in-your-mouth. You can get them from a Catholic supply store, or you can order them online, if you want to try them out. They’ll sell them to anyone, they only care about limiting who eats them after they’ve been consecrated during mass.

    • tanisnikana@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Sounds to me like I need to burgle mass and eat some Jesus on the down-low then.

    They taste like forgiveness

  • Eiri@lemmy.ca ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    They’re pretty addictive, but solely because of the texture. Crispy yet melty. The taste is almost non-existent though.

    You can buy bags of communion wafer scraps for cheap here. Well, they used to be actual scraps, but nowadays you get full uncut wafer rectangles in the bag so I think they just produce them on purpose.

  • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Nor I, but I’m told they’re about as bland as you can imagine.

      They’re almost cardboard-y tasting - I would think it’d be totally not worth it.

    No, they stick to the roof of your mouth an taste like cardboard.

  You can buy conmunion 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.

  • Delphia@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You can do it with potato chips too. Mix through some milk chocolate chips and its good, very weird but good.

  This one made me chuckle. Great 💩
