I fully agree, Tom. If I saw that thing I'd immediately assume it
represented a cocktail sausage.

Edible schematics. Sounds good to me. The little rectangles on the
lower-right can hold the dippy sauces and toothpicks.

I did wonder what they were for, but lacked the confidence to ask about

 I just got a pack of this
 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DKLAJ6
 With the right pencil, it does great line work and photographs well.
Erases nicely too.
 It doesn't have a grid, but it's translucent so I lay it on top of a
sheet of blue-grid paler and I can follow the lines when I draw.
 

I use Clearprint too, the stuff with the fadeout blue grid.  It's printed on the back, which is just right.
I got mine from a stationary store that was going out of business, and I'll probably have some to leave to my heirs.  (Heathen designers' funerals often include grave goods consisting of Staedtler lead holders, electric erasers, and so on.) ;)
