I found this recipe in an old BH&G Cookie Cookbook about 30 years ago and made a batch of these for a Christmas party. It was my small way of rebelling aginst all the Christmas-themed cookies. These cookies are so neat!Biting into one reminds you of a tropical vacation. A tip I'd like to add is to make some white frosting out of powdered sugar and water. Put the frosting into a pastry bag with a very small "tip"so you can then add little "sections" on each fruit "slice". They end up looking like really cool fruit sections! The cookies are pretty labor-intensive but well worth the time---I got rave reviews. These are also great to serve at a wedding reception, bridal or baby shower, etc. Really unique!

Lettuce is divine, although I'm not sure it's really a food.
