"Patsy loves pasta and Ice-cream with ripples. She prefers food that wiggles and squiggles." Food comes in all sorts of wonderful shapes and sizes -- Cathy's slice of cake has three pointy corners and looks like the flag on Cara's castle, and the ice-cubes in Justin's drink all have sides like Vicky's blocks -- so it should be no surprise if food looks just as much fun to play with as it does to eat.
