Greggroll. Halfway between an egg roll and Gregg.

[–] smithjoe1@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

So egg and Bailey's in a shoe?

Gregg wrapped in a crispy crust with pork and cabbage?

Holy shit. Somehow you've made Gregg even more delicious. Next Greggs on me man!

Good one. I’d especially like this as a soda.

Id use it to make foods look one way and taste another. Like program a pizza slice to taste like a peach cobbler milkshake

[–] deleted@kbin.chat 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That immediately reminds me of the age old question: would you eat chocolate that tastes like shit, or shit that tastes like chocolate?

[–] vladmech@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What if you knew it was shit, like you watched something defacate it. It still tastes like chocolate. Would you still eat that over a candy bar that you know is definitely factory produced and sanitary, but still tastes like shit?

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is eating chocolate simply not an answer?!

[–] ikapoz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe our guy is just a corpophage and that option is all upside.

[–] vladmech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Blergh. If it’s taste only, I’d probably switch at that point, yeah. I wouldn’t be happy about it though!

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Which one looks like shit

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

So is it cake x1000

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Oh God I want a replicator. Not for novel foods, just so that we could be more of a closed system at home, not always throwing out trash and bringing in stuff, it's ridiculous. I just want to be able to throw out whatever, into the replicator, and get it rearranged into useful stuff.

My fusion food would be a cinnamon pineapple but really would probably go for the most basic and reliable model, not the one with all the extra features.

So just like a citrus fruit intermediate between lemon and lime?

[–] atlasraven31@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, I call it Leme for short.

[–] ilovetacos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The cool thing about fruit is that you can do it. It exists and is called a lemonime.

Cherry sized seedless pommegranate

[–] kairo79@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I would order all the dishes that I no longer eat because animals have to die for them. Replicated would be morally okay with me

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Fish. I have yet to have good plant-based fish. Oooh, I could have normal sushi again.

If you freeze ice cream deep enough, then wrap it in pastry dough and fry it, you could probably achieve this.

Steak and mushroom

[–] keenanpepper@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Explain more... do you mean, just something exactly intermediate between octopus and ice cream in every respect? Or like, octopus with the flavor of ice cream, or texture of ice cream inside?

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.rollenspiel.monster 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Like an ice cream that's octopus flavored. The texture is still ice cream. And the shape in which it's delivered should be octopus.

[–] Satiric_Weasel@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Don't let your dreams be dreams, poach some octopus in milk and use the liquid to make a custard.

I dare you.

I think it's very much like regular ice cream, but a flavor an octopus would eat.

Crab, maybe.

[–] snowyday@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Jamaican blend coffee, Double strong, double sweet.

If I had a star trek replicator I'd use it to end capitalism and create post scarcity

[–] vim_b@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I can see it now: using the replicator to make more replicators, distributing them freely, and watching monopolies collapse. 🀌🏽

[–] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Steak with Gorgonzola cheese

black tar

heroine

So like, a cross between Wonder Woman and Armus?

I think that's basically just Pam Grier, LOL.

[–] snowyday@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

With chocolate sauce

[–] HappyMeatbag@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Milk chocolate and peach, with a creamy consistency. Then I’d try substituting other fruits, like kiwi, strawberry, cherry, and orange.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The replicator you need for this already exists. Its called a blender.

Dinosaur wings. Hey, it's worth a shot, right?

A fly and a bluewhale

Just to see what it'll do.

I wouldn't even be experimenting with food. Star Trek replicators can replicate so much more than food.

I'd replicate something halfway between a car and a spaceship.

I would ask for random combos. That seems like an obvious feature. I assume there would be a Lemmy community where I could post reviews on whatever monstrosities come out. If I feel like actual good food I'd put some restrictions like no mixing savoury and sweet in place.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Grape/Lime soda.

[–] A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 2 points 1 year ago
