“You can also add about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness.”

    Non-toxic glue would be starch or gelatine - both used as base of some ‘real glues’, both with valid culinary use, including exactly this use case. We just don’t call those ‘glue’ in this context.

      This is America, our non-toxic glue is made from plastic (PVA). It is definitely not for food and also not starch or gelatine.

        Also, things not designed for food use or human consumption don’t have to follow strict rules regarding their composition, and they’re not monitored.

        Nobody is checking PVA glue for heavy metals or melamine or pesticides or any other number of things that will give your insides a bad day.

        Nobody is issuing a recall if your bottle of glue ends up with ground up glass in it.

        Because it’s not food, and it doesn’t matter, until you put half a cup of it in your pizza because Google told you it was a good idea.
