Yay, Peasy! The sciencee of molecular gastronomy, mentioned in the article, is being looked at in an attempt to mathematically codify food. This is so that food replicaters can make a wide variety of foods on the spot from a few simplest ingredients. Aug 26 05, 12:53 AM

Sciencee? I have seen a recipe for chocolate cake using mayonnaise but then I suppose that is just egg and oil. How about a fish and chips flavoured pudding...? Aug 26 05, 12:57 AM

According to the news today, someone, and God knows why is going to start serving Black Pudding ice cream. Here's one link, and it could only happen in Ireland. http://www.rte.ie/tv/therestaurant/moran/moran_dessert3.html Aug 26 05, 11:51 AM

Yes, Peasy, codifying food sounds a tad mysterious. I meant defining a food in mathematical language using symbols to represent ingredients and further symbols to indicate how they are mixed, folded or layered. Such language can then be used in a machine to create the food from the ingredients. It is hope that these ideas can be used to make a food replicator for astronauts in space. NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts has given $75,000 for a six-month feasibility study starting in September. Aug 26 05, 12:38 PM

RMG, I suppose they already do ice cream in Guinness and potato flavours. Aug 26 05, 12:42 PM
