Spaghetti trees!

Spaghetti is made from durum wheat as most cats and their humans know. The grain is ground into a flour, mixed with egg and/or other liquid into a dough and turned into spaghetti which is dried. It is then packaged and packed and distributed to shops all over the world.

My human was very excited to tell me that through genetic modification, a similar starchy substance can now be produced as a by-product of fruiting trees, in much the same way that cocao (chocolate) and coffee beans grow on shrubs/trees.

Spaghetti like strands can now be harvested directly from trees. Farmers who have an advance experimental crop have calculated that the yields by weight far outstrip what could be grown and made from traditional methods by ten to one.

Just like yesterday, I spent most of the morning on a dining room chair catching some sun rays and listening to ABC Classic FM. Thank goodness the weekend is just about here.
