I'm now trying to find some ethnic foods: mainly Asian food (because I'm Asian in a place with very few Asians) but other types of food would be great too! Felt seems to be the obvious option since I can DIY, but all her veggies are already felt and it'd be nice for her to have different textures to play with.</p> <p>The wooden peices don't seem to be as lifelike and some plastic ones I found online look really cheap and small.</p> <p>Does anyone know where to find some realistic/good-looking or cute plastic play food? I found someone selling a mishmash of used Dim sum and sushi pieces on eBay, so I know it's out there, but I just haven't had any luck on finding any. The eBay seller said they're made by Fisher Price or Little Tikes, but I highly doubt that. </p>
