Robocook
A friend talking about how his nerdy son had detected and complained that a Thai restaurant under changed management had slimmed its portions and thinned the sauces got me thinking of the 1987 film Robocop. The eponymous protagonist is a formidable crime fighting cyborg. When we see through Robocop's eyes we are presented with running numeric displays, tracking cursors and other computer display paraphernalia.
In the current season of Masterchef mania, this got me thinking of a remake to be called, ta da: Robocook. Robocook would walk into a kitchen and his eyes would zoom in on and his computer brain would start analysing everything he sees: Ah, vanilla bean pods there, origin Indonesia. Day-old-bread there, soughdough cob. Eggs, free range. Simultaneously his search functions would bring up suitable recipes and videos of cooking processes.
Now such a cyborg would be a formidable Masterchef contestant!
