Interesting idea, although I think it's got a lot of work before it will appeal to most people, but given how food has changed in favour of fast and easy meals in recent years, I can see its popularity growing.

Earl Grey, hot.

Just because it can be done, doesn't mean that it should be done.

But because it can be done, like it or not, we ARE going to do it. Curiosity MUST be satisfied....

Muwahh HA HA Ha ha ha he he.....

Oh, hang on, this sludge tastes like... well... crap. Maybe we should feed it to 'the masses'?

Some coffee shops are already doing this to put a design on top of the lattes.

Actually after reading "ALL" the link unlike, all of you, it's kinda kool in a StarTrek sorta way.

As long as it doesn't use human or animal excretment as a base.

He had found a Nutri-Matic machine which had provided him with a plastic cup filled with a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.

Vimes strolled along for breakfast at Harga's House of Ribs. Normally the only decoration in there was on Sham Harga's vest, and the food was good solid stuff for a cold morning, all calories and fat and protein and maybe a vitamin crying softly because it was all alone.

***

"I'd like a couple of eggs," said Vimes, "with the yolks real hard but the whites so runny that they drip like treacle. And I want bacon, that special bacon all covered with bony nodules and dangling bits of fat. And a slice of fried bread. The kind that makes your arteries go clang just by looking at it."

"Tough order," said Harga.

"You managed it yesterday."
