The "Omniroll" is a rolled food. It must be on the list; but if you add it to the list, then to make it one must roll the "Omniroll" with a layer of Omniroll. This creates a new, rolled food, Omniroll², which must also be added to the list, and so on. A true "Omniroll" is thus impossible. QED.

I think it would be quite reasonable to tear apart the stars to ensure that this universe discovers the OmniRoll^n limit.
