China's Great Wall made with pudding

central news:" There is evidence in China to support the modern adage rice pudding sticks to the ribs, as 700-year-old walls there appear to be made from it. Archaeologists examining the walls surrounding the ancient city of Xian, home of the famed Terracotta warriors, found the remarkably tough and resilient plaster has the same molecular structure as rice pudding, or what the Chinese call sticky rice porridge, which they traditionally eat for breakfast. Xian and the Great Wall of China were built on the orders of Qinshihuangdi, the first emperor of a unified China in the 3rd century BC. Xian's walls, which still completely surround the city, date in their current form from the Ming dynasty in the 14th century. I found this interesting, no different then (paste) Flour & Water. But if you heat it then you have gravy base. I'm sure thru history a lot of things we eat were use to make or build something if he just looked. "
