Perfectly made portions of sushi travel around on the usual revolving train, but each one is no bigger than a quarter of an inch in diameter.
A row of magnifying glasses enables each diner to view them in greater detail to admire their perfect workmanship as they pass, before snapping them down like
savoury pickles.

I'm sorry, but gourmet tininess is just not appealing
to me. All I want is a mouthful! |
|
| |
and pity the pour chef in the sushi kitchen rolling out
those tiny little nori maki sheet. bah.. |
|
| |
[dentworth], I suppose you could grab 30 or 40 in one hand and stuff ’em in. |
|
| |
//and pity the pour chef in the sushi kitchen // He/she should just be glad the specification is Micro, and not Nano! |
|
| |
I'll pass up this idea for its cousin, "Mega Sushi". |
|
| |
Seems like someone liked the idea of micro sushi
enough to make a device for eating it on the move.
[see Micro Sushi Watch link] It's quite brilliant, and
of course makes me very happy. |
|
| |
Microsurgery robotics could make micro sushi while the interface gloved chef makes the standard size. Once the pattern is learnt, the feeding in of uniform, correct sized ingredients is only needed. The speed of the robotic manipulators may have to be fast to make the prep a "temporary" observable attraction. |
|
| |
In the interests of true scale, the sushi should not be made
simply from small pieces of normal, big fish. Instead, fillets
would be carved from Paedocypris progenetica (adult length:
10mm) and the Dwarf Pigmy Goby (which is doubly small by
name - adult length 11mm). |
|
| |
<dull as a ditch> Sushi is a kind of rice, so any fishy ingredient is incidental. |
|
| |
Ah, well, now, technically, of course, that's true. |
|
| |
//technically// what other kind of truth is there? |
|
| |
"Well, seeing as you've got lots of money, what kind would you like ? " |
|
| |
<activates LAWYER mode> So, Mr. [poc], you're standing
here, today, and telling us that Sushi, technically, need not
contain any ingredient other than rice? I believe the phrase
you used regarding other ingredients was "incidental", is
that correct? |
|
| |
[poc] Uh, yes, that's right. Technically su... |
|
| |
[MB] That's fine, Mr. [poc], I only asked you if that was what
you'd said. And it was, wasn't it? |
|
| |
[MB] Move to strike as unresponsive. Now, are you aware of
a popular chain restaurant called "Yo! Sushi"? |
|
| |
[MB] Have you ever eaten there? |
|
| |
[poc] Well, maybe, once or twice. |
|
| |
[MB] So, at least once, and possibly more than once. And
do you recall that it's a feature of Yo! Sushi establishments
that they have a conveyer belt on which various dishes
move past the diner, so that the diners can choose the
dishes they want? |
|
| |
[poc] Yes, that's correct. |
|
| |
[MB] And, typically, there's a variety of different dishes on
the belt at Yo! Sushi? |
|
| |
[MB] More than one, then. More than two? |
|
| |
[poc] Yes, there's usually quite a few. |
|
| |
[MB] Maybe a dozen or so different dishes? |
|
| |
[poc] Well, yes, maybe something like a dozen. I guess it
varies depending on how busy they are. |
|
| |
[MB] But certainly a variety of dishes, yes? |
|
| |
[MB] and, when you've visited Yo! Sushi, did you notice how
many of the different dishes consisted solely of rice? |
|
| |
[MB] I mean, were there any dishes consisting solely of rice? |
|
| |
[poc] Well, they have some that are rice and seaweed, or
rice and avocado or... |
|
| |
[MB] Move to strike as unresponsive. Let me repeat the
question, and perhaps you'll be able to answer. Do you,
standing here today, under oath, recall seeing _any_ dishes
on the Yo! Sushi conveyer that consisted solely of rice? |
|
| |
[MB] I'm sorry, was that a yes or a no? It's a simple
question, isn't it? |
|
| |
[MB] I'm sorry, could you repeat that? |
|
| |
[MB] so, to the best of your recollection, not one of the
dozen or so dishes on offer at any one time at Yo! Sushi
consist solely of rice? |
|
| |
[MB] Now, mr. [poc], would you agree that Yo! Sushi claims
to be a sushi restaurant? |
|
| |
[poc] Well, I suppose so. |
|
| |
[MB] You suppose so? I mean, it's right there, in their name,
isn't it? "Yo! Sushi" |
|
| |
[MB] And Yo! Sushi has many outlets across the US and
elsewhere, yes? |
|
| |
[MB] Perhaps I can help here. As of the beginning of this
year, Yo! Sushi had 103 outlets in total, and employed over
2,300 people in its retail outlets alone. That's a fairly
successful business, wouldn't you say? |
|
| |
[MB] And yet this highly successful sushi-based business,
that uses the word "sushi" in its name, does not offer a
single dish that you're aware of that conists solely of rice? |
|
| |
[MB] Now, do you suppose that their customers consider the
"other ingredients" in their dishes - aside from rice -
important? I mean, if they didn't, they could save a lot of
money on those other ingredients and just serve rice,
couldn't they? |
|
| |
[MB] So, wouldn't you say that from the viewpoint of the
restaurant chain with over 100 successful outlets, and from
the viewpoint of the hundreds of thousands of people who
eat at Yo! Sushi, ingredients other than the rice are in fact
not incidental? Is it not evidently the case that both a
major producer of sushi and their many, many customers,
consider ingredients above and beyond rice - such as fish,
for example - to be central to the sushi experience? |
|
| |
[MB] No further questions. |

Next time you’re on idle mode, ask me to set you a
project to keep you occupied doing something
useful..... like numbering grains of talcum powder. |

Are there symbols for a time bent edit? |
|

Yes, it's represented by the symbols "t", "i", "m" etc, in that
order. |

I didn't know lawyers put false statements into the mouths of their interviewees! |

Given the chance. And you're a deponent, not an

Ha - tell that one to Trump. He buys his past
present and future. |

Why should he bother ? He has nothing to be ashamed of ...he's got much better things to spend his money on, like coal, and whaleskin slippers, and big game safaris ... |

You forgot to include Russian girls squirting urine

We though the NSB funded that ? |

Northampton School for Boys? Well, I suppose they might have been interested. |
