I think I’ve found my BFF (best friend forever) :crying-blue:

How do you like your pancakes? Robot cooks breakfast at exhibition

Those look like some shitty pancakes.

Are you sure you want to settle down with that guy?

I like to go outside and pick fresh blueberries, throw some in the blender with a banana and some kiwis to make smoothies, then sprinkle the rest into the pancake mix. Eat pancakes, drink smoothie delicious.

I don’t mind blending flightless birds, but the beaks are a bitch…

-Imp

Like an ostrich?

Nope! He means this little fella: the kiwi bird - you wouldn’t, Imp [-(

That looks delicious.

[-( Kiwi bird too cute to be yummy…

Now this is yummy! :smiley: especially when made by a robot buddy!

I’m so hungry right now.

:unamused: …he should peck your eye out with his long beak…

:slight_smile: mmmm, pancakes, mmmm - you know you want them :wink:

What a strange looking creature, doesn’t look fully evolved, like a half-bird or something…

:-k why are the creatures from the Antipodes so different, compared to elsewhere on the planet! :confusion-scratchheadyellow:

I don’t like pancakes.

Waffles are OK, but I like regular waffles with nothing on them, except just the smallest amount of butter.

Eggs are the only breakfast food I eat with any regularity.

…but they look so good :slight_smile:

I forget what waffles taste like, but I remember they were like cakey goodness, but in the shape of a waffle! #-o

Haha, me too: 4 egg whites and 1 egg yolk most mornings - I’m sure the house-bot could knock up some scrambled for ya… :wink: and a cup of tea to go with…? :-k

I don’t eat scrambled eggs.

What I do is I make two pieces of bruschetta (Italian bread without garlic, slice of provolone cheese, slice of mozzarella cheese, sliced roma tomatoes, olive oil, sprinkled asiago cheese, ham capicola and hard salami with parsley sprinkled over top of all of that) I bake the bruschetta and then fry two eggs (over hard) and then I set one egg on each piece of bruschetta.

The whole concoction is surprisingly low fat because I use low fat deli meats and cheeses when I can, besides, it compromises my main meal of the day, other than that I just have small snacks here and there.

Oh, yeah, pancakes. I agree that pancakes are visually appealing, but they always give me a stomach ache, that and they turn to mush in your mouth too quickly when you chew them.

Most of the food I like, I like based on consistency as much as taste.

…that’d definitely keep you going throughout the day, Pav - that’s a power breakfast, for sure. The bot could fry the eggs, if nothing else…

Are you of Italian heritage? as that’s a very Italian/continental dish… You think the bot could knock that up for you? :confused:

I’m not a fan of pancakes either, except on pancake day (Shrove Tuesday, to us Catholics) - mine have to be wheat-free though… :unamused:

The only Italian I’ve ever had in me was when a proctologist named Vinnie…j/k

Just kidding, no, I have no Italian in my blood, I am German/Irish/English in that order, but I eat Italian food almost exclusively. I would say Italian food comprises about 90% of my dietary regiment, how about you?

I enjoy having a varied diet: it staves off boredom, you see :unamused:

Living in the centre of London, I have various foods from around the world on my doorstep, my favourites being: Indian, French, English, Asian, Italian, Japanese, and Turkish… =P~ Fusion food is good, as it blends different flavours to create something new and different…

I will have to look into this Fusion food.

Asian and Japanese comprise the other 10% of what I eat.

I would love to live in downtown London for six months or so. I have moved from the Ohio Valley multiple times, but I always seem to find my way back so I have given up on the thought of ever living anywhere but here for over a year, at least until I retire.

I would say that I get a pretty good variety of foods, even eating predominantly Italian. For example, go to your local grocery store and there are, like, 28 different types of pasta by four or five different brands, are there not? But there are other Italian foods, also, not just pasta and pizza and bruschetta, but so much more.

Much of the food I eat is not even technically Italian, per se, my wife and I just cook everything in an Italian way, here’s an example:

Pierce G.'s burgers Italiana

Ground Beef (95/5 or leaner)
Cloves
Oregano
Parmesan Cheese
Parsley
Paprika
Italian Bread (Again, preferably homemade and fresh out of the oven)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Red Wine
Mozzarella Cheese
Provolone Cheese
Tomatoes on the Vine
Ricotta Cheese
Marinara Sauce (Preferably Homemade, if you want the recipe for my marinara, let me know)

Combine ground beef with oregano, cloves, parmesan cheese, and parsley and form into patties.

Soak the Tomatoes in Olive Oil for one hour and then dice into small cubes.

Soak patties for 2-3 minutes on each side in red wine. Do not completely submerse the patties, (the red wine should line the bottom of the vessel where the soaking is being done, but it should not encompass more than 1/4th of the patty)

Cook patties (to desired wellness)

Cover the patties liberally with the diced tomatoes and then place the mozzarella and provolone cheese over the patties (fold cheese under the patties so the tomatoes are trapped on the patties)

Dust Italian bread with olive oil on both sides, lightly shake paprika on both sides (for color), and brown slightly.

Heat marinara sauce (it should already be heated if homemade) and pour in a generous amount of shredded ricotta cheese.

Place completed patty on Italian bread and pour on as much marinara sauce as you desire, cover with another slice of Italian bread.

Personally, I’d remove that ‘thing’ that’s on the top, but the rest of the dish looks, well, good enough to eat. :wink:

So you’re kinda NorthEast of the U.S. bordering PA, Canada, and about four other states it seems, and only a short swim away from NY, ehehehe - I looked it up on a map of the U.S. :slight_smile:

Ah, London!

…London at night:

I guess you’re already creating your own style of fusion cooking, then :slight_smile: It has become the norm to combine foods and flavours from differing regions and countries…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFusion cuisine combines elements of various culinary traditions while not fitting specifically into any. The term generally refers to the innovations in many contemporary restaurant cuisines since the 1970s.

Categories and types
Fusion cuisine is a general term for the combination of various forms of cookery, the concept can take several forms. One approach is regional fusion that combines the cuisine of a region or sub-region into a single eating experience. Of these sort, Asian fusion restaurants have become popular in many parts of the United States, often featuring Indian, East Asian, and South-East Asian dishes alongside one another and offering dishes that are inspired combinations of such cuisines.

Another incarnation of fusion cuisine is a more eclectic approach, featuring original dishes using varieties of ingredients from various cuisines and regions and combining them. Such restaurants are often trendy and have no singular thematic cohesion other than innovative eclecticism in their menus. Such a restaurant might feature a wide variety of dishes inspired by combinations of various regional cuisines with new ideas.

A third approach uses foods with a form based on one cuisine, but prepared using ingredients and flavors inherent to another cuisine or cuisines. For instance, pizza made with cheddar and pepper jack cheese, salsa, refried beans and other common taco ingredients is often marketed as “Taco Pizza” or a similar concept, and is a fusion of Italian-American (pizza) and Mexican-American cuisines. Similar approaches have been used for fusion-sushi, such as rolling maki with different types of rice and ingredients, e.g. curry and basmati rice, cheese and salsa sauce with Spanish rice, or spiced ground lamb and capers rolled with Greek-style rice and grape leaves (resembling inside-out dolmades).
