Not So Yummy, Yummy Dough

One thing I love about Korea is the variety of things you can buy here.  They literally have so many things for sale that I've never found in the States.  One of our latest finds was this stuff called Yummy Dough.  I bought it for the kids because they love playdough, and we always use the little playdough phrase, "Fun to play with, not to eat" when we're playing with it.  So I thought great; Yummy Dough will be "fun to play with AND to eat!"  

It conveniently happened that it was Family Home Evening that night, so we used our new found Yummy Dough for activity and treat.  

Here's Emma holding a ball of it.  It came in yellow, red, and blue.  We were pretty impressed because it really felt and worked just like playdough.  

We broke out Emma's little playdough food molding kit, and had fun making playdough food that we would actually be able to eat.  Super fun!

Ryan made this fun little hamburger, complete with lettuce and cheese.  

We made lots of fun foods:  strawberries, pizzas, cookies, etc.  Then it was time to bake.  I was a little skeptical about how this was going to cook.  I thought it would definitely lose a little of its shape, but it didn't.  It came out of the oven looking the same way it went in!  The only difference was the yellow was slightly darker.  I was very impressed with our new find...until we ate it.  As Ali said, "This stuff tastes just like I've always imagined playdough to taste."  It was disgusting!  Well, I guess Yummy Dough isn't all it's cracked up to be.  Turns out this stuff is also "Fun to playwith, not to eat."  Bummer.
