. . . or as a takeaway meal?

Does anyone fancy either of them?

[B00]

Could be because im Hank Marvin here, but yes, both look delicious!

[Buenchico]

I have to admit, B00, that, as I live reasonably close to Norwich, I'm seriously tempted to try the deep-fried one ;-)

Mmmmm, something that looks like it was scraped off the pavement outside a busy nightclub for dinner.
Cuts out the middle man. :-)

[B00]

If you live within a reasonable distance I really think you should try it out Chico and report back, y'know in the interest of science.

Yuk, don't fancy the deep fried one.

[NoMercy]

I think I'll be really boring and stick with my traditional fayre.

I've just checked out the location of that chippy and realised that I've actually eaten there quite a few times. (I just didn't recognise the name).

What I didn't realise though, until I looked at the information on their menu, is that they'll deliver to the pub across the road. So I could try their Christmas offering in the pub!

It's getting more and more tempting ;-)

Same here NoM !

My grandad predicted, years ago, that our food would come in pill form. I didn't fancy that at all, nor do I want to eat printed-out food. I think it will go the way of CDs that we could eat our breakfast from ;)

[EcclesCake]

Neither appeal.

I will happily stick to my chosen, non traditional, menu.

Has anyone else found Sainsbury's Turkey sausages? They really are good....yes with chips and cranberry sauce and a side of baked beans.

I can imagine printed desserts too....3d printers are just mechanisms that move a nozzle to a predetermined pattern....Currently they use plastic but I could imagine that any food that comes in an extrudable form that will set or hold its shape after being extruded (piped) could be used to produce "printed" desserts.
