Packets of sticky rice in the frozen food section of the supermarket.

Rice Crispy Treats

First you are served sizzling rice cakes. Then you dump an entire terrine of soup over the rice cakes and the whole lot sputters like a physics experiment. This is delicious and fun to eat texturewise although you constantly run the risk of burning your tongue.
