Tks shoppingmum for your reply. I share your concern about the potential dangers with toothpicks not just with young children. The spaghetti string is such a cool tip!

Caroline, oh no, I didn’t use any for the octopus, but just leave the cheese there.

Amy, so you are using the spaghetti string to secure the eyes and mouth of your ‘Octopus’ sausages as well this time?

Javapot, the pasta is not cooked, so it’s hard and you can use it to join pieces together. Some mothers use toothpicks, but I’m afraid of choking my kids. If they eat the uncooked pasta, it’s still ok because it’s edible. Most of the time, I found that it gets soft when my kids eat their food, not sure what’s the reason, maybe the inner part of the food is still hot???

Nice, tks for the inspiration and tips.
Btw, been wanting to ask. You mentioned in an earlier post using a pasta to string the sausages together. Just to clarify that after that, you proceed to cook/boil them. Cos uncooked pasta are hard? Sorry a bit unclear *blur me* and been thinking of this for a while and so just wanted to confirm *then finally can have peaceful sleep at night, ha ha*. TIA.
