using food as glue

 can common foods be made into glue?

for example milk if boiled,

if you you boil oat meal or corn meal in water for 30 minutes it
creates a think liquid.

also egg especially egg yolk, tends to get very hard when dry.

tapioca creates a thick paste.

does anyone have any experience in using these  for non-food uses?

Think liquids are illegal.


Hordes with the flour and water used for papier mache etc.

Wheat paste and rice paste are traditional glues for paper (both made
by boiling flour, though I suppose you could just boil down the grain
itself until it turned to mush).  If I recall from my art-student
days, rice paste was favored for mounting art prints as it is archival
(won't damage the paper even after many years).  (Wheat) flour & water
is the traditional binder for paper mache.
