Cocoon Cooker Grows Meat and Fish from Heated Animal Cells. (Fast Company)
Here’s a food-related invention that is even weirder than the notorious Beanzawave: The Cocoon, a concept cooker that grows meat and fish from heated animal cells in a process that looks disturbingly similar to magic animal growing capsules.
Designed by Richard Hederstierna of the Lund Institute of Technology, Cocoon took first place today in the Electrolux Design Lab Competition. Hederstierna’s device uses RFID signals to discern the type of fish or meat inserted into the cooker. The meat’s muscle cells, nutrients, and oxygen are heated for a preset time, and voila, delicious meat is born, sans the whole killing animals part.
I’ve been waiting for this since I first read William Gibson’s Neuromancer.
I’m not sure how I missed this, but these crazy fuckers went a hundred squared at In-N-Out a while back.
So, so wrong. Yet…mystical.
That’s 2/3 of a pound of pork every minute. (The Oregonian)
With his face and hands slathered in barbecue sauce and a stack of bare pork ribs sitting vanquished in front of him Sunday afternoon, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut showed why he is the world’s top competitive eater.
Ten days after devouring a world-record 66 hot dogs in 12 minutes at the annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest, Chestnut inhaled 7.65 pounds of barbecued pork rib meat in 12 minutes at the Chinook Winds World Rib Eating Championship to defend his title for the second straight year.
This guy is becoming the Wilt Chamberlain of competitive eating.
Will Kobayashi suffer lockjaw meltdown in his quest for six straight titles? Will young upstart Joey Chestnut recapture lost American glory? Or will a slim, dark horse chanteuse — who goes by the name of Sonja — upstage the men on this day of our country’s glorious independence?
Does anybody know what I’m talking about?
We should eat horse meat, says TV chef Ramsay.
Gordon Ramsay is to shatter the last taboo of English cuisine by urging the public to eat horse meat.
The controversial chef claims horse meat is tasty and nutritious and should be part of the British diet.
But his call for horses, long revered as farm and racing animals, to be turned into dinner has sparked revulsion among horse lovers, animal welfare campaigners and vegetarians.
