Tuna-floss
I actually wanted to call this panda-floss. | |
A buddy of mine in Malaysia just said that he's having chicken floss (as a
food, not as a disease or anything). I think there was a linguistic error
involved, but this set me thinking.
Candy-floss tastes especially sugary and wonderful because the fine
fibres present an enormous surface area
to the mouth and dissolve
rapidly.
A higher-speed centrupugal device would be needed to floss meat, fish,
cheese, etc, but once perfected, the possibilities would be unlimitless.
so indeed this is baked and your friend did not make a typo!

what [blissy] said!
But...maybe cheese would be nice, so I'll think about it and come back when I'm hungrier! |
|
| |
I can only say that I am saddened by this bifid "ugh". Can you
not imagine the savoury goodness of beefy-floss? The "wall
of taste" effect of anchovy-floss? |
|
| |
Given that I am invariably late for everything, this discovery
that I was born ahead of my time comes as something of a
shock. |
|
| |
The concept of cheese floss is disturbingly attractive. |
|
| |
Wait til you try "bacon-floss". Unflossed foods will, soon, be
seen as mere raw materials. |
|
| |
We are concerned that Crispy Cheese, Bacon and Toast Floss may represent a potentially lethal sensory overload to the consumer. |
|
| |
[neutral] I could imagine a machine of this sort being used to create mozzarella cheese... but as a processing step for making solid cheese, not for cheese fluff. |
|
| |
Incidentally, which direction is centrupugal, inwards or outwards? |
|
| |
Sideways actually.
South East of here in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan, India. |
|
| |
Ancient mexican indigenous cultures used to clean their
teeth with tortilla ashes. It worked nicely, they said, but
since I first heard of that I found the idea of a "tasty"
teethcleaner plain disgusting. |
|
| |
The original image begs the question: With hens' teeth being so scarce, what need would they have for floss? |
|
| |
I'm thinking haggis floss...
Ideally, there will be a
gadget you can buy for your home which will 'floss' anything,
in the same way that the SodaStream could convert anything
to a fizzy drink. Just chuck in your toast, marmalade and cup
of tea and seconds later you'll have a delicious breakfast
floss, for example. |

Hippo - have our tech guys been talking loose again? We are
indeed developing a home-flossing machine. At the
moment, our industrial flossers run about 12kW and 3 tons,
but we are looking to improve this. |
|
| |
Hmmm - re the link, it doesn't quite look like what I had in
mind. I am thinking of a far more intensive engineering
process, leading to centripugally-extruded fibres of goodness
which can be wound on a stick. |
|
| |
I would like the cheese floss wound around a pretzel rod please... |
|
| |
Well done, [hippo]. That's another one good for a few sessions of waking up in the night, screaming... |
