flat food products Explanation: I'd be tempted to wait and see if there is a better suggestion than yours, but I'd rather doubt it. It's just for products flat enough to lift the front line over the back line, rather than for these enormous "Torten", where you can only put one line in the showcase. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2004-05-29 11:52:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ....or alternatively have the showcase compartments at least 30 cm high. |

food products that fit neatly into a flat space Explanation: I agree that it sounds odd - as if they have been squashed. You could try to get round it with something like this. |

flat sized food items or products Explanation: Might work. By adding 'sized' you make sure that you're not talking about dull tasting foods. |
