Those words should never follow each other in a sentence. - MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19In other news, Strawberry Milk-flavoured Fish Sausage May Cause Genetic Mutations.
- MrBabyMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Only in Japan. I once had Pac-Man brand hot chocolate with little marshmallow ghosts, only to find out the ghosts were made from cuttlefish. Blecch!
- argonsloth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Don't like Soylent Green?
Try new Soylent Wintergreen!
It's got all the nutrients of Soylent Green and a refreshing hint of mint. - OperatorNo9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11"Hey, you got fish sausage in my strawberry milk."
"You got strawberry milk on my fish sausage."
"Mmm..."
While the discovery is amazing--particularly if genetically adding good flavor to healthy foods that naturally taste like ass doesn't add the fat/calories/etc--there seems to be a pretty good reason why we don't already have strawberry milk flavored fish sausage.
All apologies for the compulsory Reese's reference. - oslointhesummer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9McDonalds has Cheeseburgers that taste like laxatives.
Is that close enough? - UnglueD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Hmmm they should make foods like cauliflower and tofu taste like pizza and brats.
- thewaz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10strawberry suasage wouldnt be good even if it was real.
- Canthros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8That is simultaneously gross, and awesome.
Can they make salads that taste like chocolate cake next? - elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Strawberry Milk Fish Sausage is peeeeeeeeeeeople!
- jesseroo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I actually gagged a little reading it...eck
- hackwrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Then might I interest you in some tasty lime chili flavored ramen?
- kingfoot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8YES! Finally ill get my chocolate candy tasting broccoli...and maybe some pop flavored water! all the great tastes and no bad food, infact it would be all healthy foods! haha candy flavored salads! ice cream flavored corn! muahahahahahahaaaa
- TheKillDoctor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7McDonald's cheeseburgers ARE laxatives!
- jesseroo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11the point is that there is no need for u in the word...so being pompous about having one in there doens't make sense
- elpayo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Do not taunt Strawberry Milk-Flavored Fish Sausage.
- Cylus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Of all the foods they could have reworked the taste on, they began with fish sausage? Not normal sausage even, but FISH SAUSAGE?
Years of anime, wacky inventions, and used panty vending machines had me convinced the Japanese we all insane, but this has removed all possible doubt - an all new level of madness. They've powered up. It's like Super Crazy Saiyan 94 (or whatever absurd number those constipated looking chaps of Dragonball fame are up to). - ahhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6W....T....F???
strawberry-milk flavoured FISH SAUSAGE!??!
That is wrong on an infinite number of levels.
*shudder* - Topher06, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Is this a translation issue, like Santa Claus translates to Annual Gift Giving Man. Maybe there is no milk, strawberries, fish, or sausage at all.
- matthewaaron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I wonder if they could implament this in medicines? I want my laxatives to taste like a cheeseburger.
- weprin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I've tasted some pretty convincing samples of tofu that tastes like real meat. It's the texture that still just isn't quite right. I enjoy both real meat and tofu - many of my friends and family are vegetarians.
- noslengnow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Beats the Fish Flavored-Strawberry Milk Sausage idea they were initially thinking of.
- MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Im just messing with ya Jesseroo. I love to give American Spelling a hard time ;)
- rushiku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"I want my laxatives to taste like a cheeseburger."
I'm thinking you may be putting those in the wrong end... - weprin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Bah! Just because we Americans don't spell it the same way as the rest of the world does not make it "incorrect."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/flavor - drumt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I worked for a sausage casing manufacturing company in the early 90's just outside of Chicago. We would put the chemical required in the lining of the casing to give the desired flavor. You want BBQ, we had a flavor for that! And it was kosher.
- helusay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3so, does that mean all you taste is the strawberry-milk? and don't you think at some point being a parent you would have to taste this crap just see what you were feeding your child? that's just nasty all the way around
- rushiku, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Initially I was turned off by the fish sausage reference, like everyone else. However, I'm reasonably sure that surimi ('artificial' crab meat and the like) could be considered 'sausage', at least for the purposes of translation.
That said, I still don't think strawberry flavored surimi would be all that great, but it wouldn't be nearly as bad as something that felt more like an East Coast Crab Cake and tasted like strawberry milk. :Þ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I will settle for fish sticks that actually contain fish, and not some white tasteless white-crap
- Rmplstltskn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1WTF is fish sausage?
- o0joshua0o, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1With this technology you could make cheeseburgers that taste like brussel sprouts!
- pyrates, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If I recall, on an episode of Star Trek TNG, Counsellor Troi wanted the food replicator to make real chocolate ice cream. Not the kind that was completely healthy for her, but real chocolate ice cream. Sounds like this might be a step in the right direction in order to achieve chocolate ice cream that is completely healthy for you.
- danlovejoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why, it makes perfect sense!
- MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can you imagine the texture conflictions, eating a chewy fish sausage tasting like smooth strawberry milk?
I cant even imagine eating a fish sausage. - danlovejoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No, it's not a translation error. Japanese people are very, very different from us. Witness Natto. http://metropolis.co.jp/biginjapanarchive299/267/biginjapaninc.htm
/I love Japan and Japanese people.
// Different isn't worse - it's just different. - letterten, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1kinda creepy, but at least i'd start to eat veggies. of course, who knows exactly what happens to us and the entire food chain when we start mucking 'round at the genetic level.
- LiquidLithium, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Why do they have to take a cool scientific discovery like this, and make what they did. Fish sausage would be gross on its own. But now lets blend it up with some strawberries and some milk. Seriously, WTF?
I guess it could be used to show the power of the discovery, but get a lil more creative than strawberry milk fish sausage... - imaxami, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I felt stupid reading that article. There were lots of big words all next to each other and stuff.
- sarahlarowe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This is old news. I heard about this story months ago, and was no less grossed out by the Frankenfood they've created.
- fakesalt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1oh my god -- sounds delicious
- nickdanger3d, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4@jesseroo: Do you pronounce through with a rough in it?
/also american - Anpheus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2The sad thing is, I think lime chili flavored ramen existed before genetic engineering.
- MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -9/+6And how would you pronounce "your", Jesseroo? Yow-er?
Don't mess with me, I'm very much pourful! - Ugoff, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Strawberry Milk-Flavored Fish Sausage? Something not even Weird Al would eat.
- jesseroo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3hmmm...I pronounce "our" different than "or"...and I pronounce it flav"or" not flav"our"
thankyouverymuch - MrSidnet, on 10/12/2007, -14/+5Also, nice to see that Flavour was spelled correctly, not the American lazy way -- flavor.
- cheftony, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3Wow...strawberry sausage...too much
