Picture the scene. A friend an I were having a day out in the local woods and were just tucking in to our freshly brewed tea, when My friend put too much powdered milk (mmm, delicious...) in the tea. A normal occurrence, you might say, but... He spooned it onto a leaf and I threw the leaf on the fire so there wasn't loads of milk everywhere when we left and it went up in very large, very bright flames! We tried it with a bit more and up it went again. On checking the label it appeared that there are many other ingredients in the stuff than just milk, including vegetable oil. I think it must have been this coupled with the large surface area of the powder. Oh and also teabags make good tinder in a wet wood. I wasnt sure whether to put this in firecraft or food, but I thought it might be useful.
