Is there an adhesive that is hugely strong and flexible but also EDIBLE?

My friend and I are trying to set up the ultimate in genius websites. Affiliated with hatsofmeat.com , it is a website called www.eatmyshoes.co.uk , and is deidcated to edible footwear. We've already constructed several models; loafers, sneakers, sandals, etc, but have hit a snag. We cannot find an edible glue that is strong enough to adhere soles (steak, halumi, gelatine, etc), to uppers (ham, japanese seaweed, jerky, etc). Superglue is inedible, gum arabic and edible cake glue are not strong enough, and egg white, gelatine and icing split, shear or crack. We've decided that glue is the way forward, as edible threads (celery, rocket, etc) cannot be threaded through the eye of a needle. Can anyone suggest a reliable single way of adhering two parts of an edible shoe. This is a serious question! :)

Reply:glue
Reply:dissolvable sutcher for the stiching. i had my appendix out and the surgeon used dissolvable sutcher
Reply:Wood glue. I believe it's made from horses hooves - it certainly smells disgusting
Reply:have no idea of its strength but you can purchase fish glue. there are other animal made glues available on the market have a good search see what you can find, you could try making pegs (like skewers) using stalks or some product similar. i think maybe another problem you may find is who would really want to eat it after being with feet and in contact with the floor - good luck with both of those.
Reply:In the Charlie Chaplin film they used liquorice
Reply:If you're using gelatine in the soles, why not bond the whole shoe with gelatine? I hope you're not using this information for the purposes of terrorism.
Reply:Try oatmeal, I know it's hard to clean up when my daughter spills it.
