Technology: 3D Print Your Dinner With ‘Foodini’ (Video)
January 22, 2014
Hungry? Bet you are. Why not help yourself to chocolate treats. You can get them over there… off the printer!
Wait wha-?
Yep. Of course, this ‘printer’ is not a regular printer. This 3D printer is not too much unlike Cody Wilson’s 3D printer for guns (earlier post here). There is one glaring difference: what comes out of the Foodini is meant to go into your mouth. What comes out of the printed gun…nah.
Very interesting (and tasty) application of 3D printing tech.

David George aka ‘The Bug Chef’: The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook (Video)
October 25, 2013
David George Gordon – known the world over as the ‘Bug Chef’ came to Seattle (Washington, USA) to promote “The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook” and to cook up some delicious creepy-crawlers… spiders. scorpions, you know… delicacies.
WHAT??? I know… Blech!!
Nah, for real. The cookbook features “33 ways to cook grasshoppers, ants, water bugs, spiders, centipedes, and their kin.” And as you will see in the clip above, he makes little attempt to ‘mask the natural bug flavor’ of his dishes. A dash of spice, a quick steam over lemon juice, and viola! Grub… yeah, he probably has a grub worm recipe or three, too.
“Of all the different dishes I make, I think the tarantula is actually the tastiest.”
