The trend towards edible containers gathers pace with a new flotilla of potato and rice boats from Limburg Patisserie. The entrée- and appetiser-sized meal components come ready to fill (they can also come pre-filled on request) and are simply reheated from frozen. Serving ideas for the textured oven-baked potato boats include chillis, curries, steak and kidney or the vegetables for a Sunday roast. Both the potato and the oven-baked savoury rice boats come in three sizes: 16cm x 11cm full-entrée cases, 13cm x 7cm snack boats and 8cm x 4cm canapé containers. They are delivered in pallets of about 1,500 boats but smaller quantities are available from frozen food distributors.
