Ever get really hungry, open the fridge and wonder whether that salami in the side door is still edible?

Would Dinosaur Taste Like Chicken?

Exploring theories about prehistoric dinner

Jan 16, 2012 11:31 am

NBC ran Friends for 10 seasons, totaling 236 episodes. Two of the main characters are siblings; one a chef and the other a paleontologist. Not once in the roughly 5,192 minutes of situational comedy did the two ever have a discussion about what dinosaur meat would taste like.

Don't you just love photo cakes, those perfectly good cakes made even better by a sheet of edible ink bearing any image you can dream up?

Siri, What's Your Favorite Food?

Oct 27, 2011 1:01 pm

I've had the pleasure of getting to know the iPhone 4S's personal assistant function, Siri, over the past several days since my glorious new toy arrived. Granted, one has to grossly mispronounce my last name in order to call or text me hands-free, but it's still an incredibly cool feature my old 3G (no S, just straight up) couldn't touch. My first instinct (naturally) was to see if Siri could facilitate my dinner efforts. I started with an easy question.
