I have dreamed of a chess set made out of cheese. Naturally, the pieces would have to be replaced often.

to ivandh. like cheese but not that much. chocolate liquers and you'd make a fortune.

Well, of course, I have a drinking set. Little shot glasses you fill with your poison - say vodka v whiskey. Take a piece and it must be drunk.....
