Sushi Prepared on a Printer
Ant writes " The New York Times talks about Homaro Cantu's maki, it looks a lot like the sushi rolls served at other upscale restaurants: pristine, coin-size disks stuffed with lumps of fresh crab and rice and wrapped in shiny nori. They also taste like sushi, deliciously fishy and seaweedy. But the sushi made by Mr. Cantu, the 28-year-old executive chef at Moto in Chicago, often contains no fish. It is prepared on a Canon i560 inkjet printer rather than a cutting board. He prints images of maki on pieces of edible paper made of soybeans and cornstarch, using organic, food-based inks of his own concoction. Then, Homaro flavors the back of the paper, which is ordinarily used to put images onto birthday cakes, with powdered soy and seaweed seasonings."
Try the soylent green. Its delicious.
erm..

But where is the eatable electronic ink paper! Ohh I need to go print a TPS report then feed it to my boss - bbl.
I was informed a while ago (to my surprise) that Sushi doesn't necessarily contain fish. I now understand that Sushi relates to the seasoning of rice and the style of presentation - typically with Nori (seaweed).

Indeed - sashimi is raw fish, often served with sushi.
Yeah, all obes people should be forced to eat their words!
Sushi doesn't taste fishy - or at least good sushi doesn't.
Does he also print the nutritional information on the back as well?

Sushi tastes about as good as paper, regardless of how you flavor it. I'm not surprised at all that it works as an alternative.
Holy crap! I knew that they made it out of old paper. Tesco (UK's WalMart) make everything taste of paper. Now I know.

He's going about this exactly the right way.
1. Have LOTS of wild ideas that you would like to try.
2. Try them.
3. Some of them work.
4. Patent.
5. Repeat steps 1 - 4.
6. BIG profit (eventually).
The trick is to finding a way to pay for the initial development and some way to test all the solutions to the wild ideas. The restaurant does both of those.

here's an review I found that sums it up:
[ ]For the past decade restaurants have gone to great lengths--showy food, exposed kitchens, gimmicky menus--to add drama to their dining rooms. But when the theatrics overshadow the food, a restaurant and its diners are in trouble. At Market District newcomer MOTO, the show starts with waitstaff dressed in black lab coats, continues with aromatherapeutic flatware threaded with sprigs of fresh herbs (listed as a course on the menu!), and hits a peak when servers approach the table with six-inch syringes to inject a single rice ball with sweet-and-sour sauce. And if you think Charlie Trotter's servings are small, wait till you see what chef Homaro Cantu calls a salad: a teaspoon of tiny spinach gelatin cubes and another of frisee. A bite-size portion of scallops came sitting atop a plastic box (constructed by Cantu himself), where a small but tasty filet of black bass was steaming in "Pacific Oceanic products" (water FedExed in from the Pacific). If the minuscule portions of white-truffle ice-cream spaghetti and smoked-watermelon soup tasted good I'd be more forgiving, but they didn't. It goes on like this through the 13th course--you'll wish you'd opted for the five- or seven-course meal or, evenbetter, that you'd gone next door to Folia instead. Moto is at 945 W. Fulton, 312-491-0058.

The word Sushi, to my understanding, is derived from the words su (vinegar) and meshi (rice).
The birth of sushi as we know it, was to use this vinegar rice to wrap fish in it, to conserve the fish, sometimes for months!

Yep, sushi is cold rice flavoured with vinegar and sugar. This food can be used in various ways, and rolls are just one variation.
More common at home is to make "shirashizushi" - basically a large bowl with the rice and a bunch of different toppings spread out on top. Another variation is to have rice and toppings in bowls, then take a piece of nori (pressed seaweed) and add some sushi and whatever toppings you like, then roll up and eat - sort of the same way you make tacos.
But yes, as it happens, sashimi tends to go very well with sushi.

How can the guy call it sushi when it has no sushi-rice?
It's made from soybeans.
It's like saying a tofu steak is a prime cut of filet mignon because you colored it and added some flavoring.

However, sushi historically developed in a way that makes only sense with fish, since the rice was used to conserve the fish by pickling it with lactic acid.

Look, it's not sushi, if you RTFA you'll see it's a novelty item printed with sushi designs on the outside -- it's not supposed to even look like sushi.
That apart, the point about Moto's is that it doesn't serve actual food, it serves insanely tiny and bizarre objets d'art in Kubrik-esque surroundings. You don't go there to eat, you go there to witness the most ridiculous restaurant ever, and boy do they deliver! Single strand of spaghetti? You can get that. Silver teaspoon containing tiny dab of meat-flavored ice cream? You can get that (but can't keep the teaspoon). Giant pile of pretention, drenched with arrogance, topped with a fundamental inability to understand cookery and garnished with a four-digit bill? They have that, too -- actually, it's compulsory.

Lutefisk is actually pretty good. I never liked it the first few years I lived in Norway, but now I look forward to it. It also depends where I get it - Stortorvet Gjestiveri is good I think, but other places I've had tried didn't taste as good. Of course, you need enough of the bacon fat poured on top to make it taste good :-)

Leave it to the US to take something thats been perfected over the course of a couple hundred years, and destroy it in the length of an article. I get the whole gimmick thingie, and the fact that you can 'now' eat stuff you normally wouldn't (edible underwear)but whats the friggin point. Sushi is supposed to be simple, quick, fresh, easy and healthy. I just don't see the point in all this???
It's called "sashimi" when there is *NO* rice. i.e. just slices of raw fish. Sushi is either nigiri or maki. Nigiri is peices of (usually) fish on top of balls of rice. Maki are what the "rolls". In both cases, the rice is seasoned with vinegar and sugar. See http://www.rain.org/~hutch/rice.html for sushi rice info.

From stereotypical statements like "pristine, coin-size disks stuffed with lumps of fresh crab and rice and wrapped in shiny nori." to incorrect statements such as "They also taste like sushi, deliciously fishy and seaweedy.", it seems this guys actually has no clue about sushi other than the stuff he buys at the local grocery store when he wants to impress a girl.
but if I'm going to spend 240 bucks on sushi, I damn-well better be eating raw fish, not pictures of raw fish. It's an interesting idea, sure, and some of his inventions may have practical uses, but I highly doubt he's going to be able to levitate food. He'd either need to cool it with liquid nitrogen and put it on a superconducting plate, making it inedible, or he'd need freakin' huge magnets. And as for food disappearing, hell, I can do that easily. It's called "eating".
I'm sure you probably knew that.
However, some minor trivia. Apparently in the US it usually indicates that the Letter format paper in the Paper Cassette has run out and needs to be refilled. Here in Australia we used to see it for a different reason. We use A4 paper, which the printer knew was A4. From memory, if you installed Word without setting the region right, or, alternatively used the Default template, which I think defaulted to Letter format paper, you would get this message even if the paper cassette was full of paper - because it was full of A4 paper, not Letter ! This made it less obvious what this message meant, as you couldn't see an obvious reason why the printer didn't print. Fortunately, HP invented the "Continue" button, which made Letter jobs print to A4. Pressing "Continue" was such an easy thing to do that you never really bothered spending the time finding out what the real cause was, and just dismissed it as one of those weird "computer things" that happen ever now and again. Of course, if you did one day look at the paper settings and then set it to A4, the message never showed up. You never quite connected those two events together, so you never really knew how to properly fix it when it occured.

I don't understand how, in an environment where the termperature is below freezing for at least five months, preservation is an issue. Bury the food during winter and early spring, then salt and smoke any excess meat you may have when it warms up. I think these foods were just created on a dare.

You know... I'd always had a big "NO UNI" rule regarding my sushi eating habits. I've tried it a couple of times in New York and never liked it.
Once, while in Tokyo, I went for sushi with vendors. They ordered the lunch special and the sushi chef prepared each piece separately and handed one or two pieces to everyone at the bar that ordered the special.
One course was Uni and I wasn't looking forward to it. I figured I'd swallow it as fast as possible. But when I grabbed it, it broke apart. I put it in my mouth and it was actually pretty pleasant. I don't know if it's how it was prepared or how fresh it was or what. But I didn't mind the experience at all.
I still haven't had the courage to order Uni at home, though.

"The tiny opaque box, about three inches square, is made of a superinsulating polymer. Mr. Cantu heats the box to 350 degrees in an oven and places a raw piece of Pacific sea bass inside it. A server then delivers it to diners, who can watch the fish cook."
I would have thought that it would have needed to be clear, or at least translucent to see the contents...

Because the fish are caught in the spring.
The origins of this stuff is the Northern baltic coastal regions. Not exactly an area where a lot grows, or grows well. There were people in northern Sweden literally starving to death as late as 1919. So you can hardly blame them for eating whatever they could. (Bread made out of tree-bark was common too. It fills you up, but has no nutritional value, since humans can't digest it.)
So you can't blame the people for eating disgusting stuff. But why you would continue to do so out of tradition, in a modern, industrialized, first-world country is still beyond me.

A lot of foods take some training for most people to like. Remember the first time you had coffee, beer, green olives, pickles, chili? Most adults enjoy at least some of these, but not a lot of small children do.
But hey, it's the adults that are wrong; except for the olives all the rest are bad for you in some way. So ban foods that most toddlers don't like, we don't need none of that in a modern, industrialized, first-world country anyway, right?
On Tuesday night, a dozen friends and I spent 7 1/2 hours in Moto's function room enjoying 22 courses, including one involving a meat that one of our group brought to Cantu and asked if there were any preparations he'd enjoy making. What's important here is that, while the gimmicks are flashy (and he admits up front that it's an evening of flashy gimmicks), the food itself is of a level competitive with most in Chicago.
A variety of reviews, including pictures, have been posted on the foodie site we hang out on, which, to avoid the Slashdot effect, I leave as an exercise for you readers.

But he is actually right - sushi neither refers to the rice nor directly to the fish. It's a method of preserving food. Specifically, it originally was a method of preserving fish - hence it generally being served with fish today (though not always). But it is not really correct to say that sushi does not refer to the fish - without fish, sushi never would have been invented, and the first forms of sushi were little more than fish, salt, and vinegar. There was no rice.
Sushi evolved over the years like many foods do. Today's maki are not even really Japanese (though neither was the first sushi, really, either).
Do a Google search on the origins of sushi and you'll find a bunch of stories that say basically the same thing - you can glean the true history from that. (I'm not linking to a specific page because they all have minor details that sound more or less apocryphal, but the gist is basically the same between most of them).
The kanji for sushi also looks like a fish. Kanji originally was a pictographic language - it depicts what it is. Here's a nice page that shows the various kanji used throughout the years and also talks a little bit about their origins and the origins of sushi. (Before anyone gets confused by that page talking about a bunch of Chinese stuff, remember that Japanese kanji is derived from Chinese kanji, so all Japanese kanji have origins in the Chinese language.)
With Japan & Americas track record on MSG this sounds like it might be a health problem waiting to happen. Just what is this stuff "flavoured" with ?
Could he really patent the edible paper/ink process? I've seen paper made of sugar before... and I'm pretty sure I've seen someone else use cornstarch paper and food-safe dyes to put celebrity pics on cookies. Im not sure I was reading the article right but it sounded like he filed a patent. Too bad, because I want open-source printable snackage. The idea to use a 3d printer to print out food isn't a big leap either. I remember when I first heard about the technology, the show I was watching mentioned that the models that had been created were made of cornstarch and could actually be eaten if you really felt like it. Either way, I hope his ideas lead to something cool. The 3d printer idea could be refined with some good research. It wouldn't be as magical as Star Trek's solution to food in space... but it might reduce the amount of storage our astronauts need for food supplies on long trips. If it could print out a steaming hot hamburger, even if it took half an hour and it's not a very good one, I'd buy one and use it frequently.
When willl they learn that sushi is a art form, not to be duplicated by a machiene.
Actually, the technology has existed for a few years now to do this with icing on cakes. I was able to put the stanza of a poem on my groom's cake by giving them a pdf file of the poem stanza text and a graphic. They then printed the icing out onto the cake. It was quite neat and did a very good job, though naturally you still neat artistic skill for any of the frilly edges and 3D creations. ;-) !
And, before anyone asks, the poem had nothing to do with Nantucket

I second that. I had a japanese friend of mine make sushi, and it came to my surprise that it only consisted of mixed rice and vinegar rolled up into a rice sheet. That sounds curious, since any information I could find doesn't distinguish sushi from raw fish.
And yeah, it tasted very good.
for astronaut food. I am not saying taking a printer into space with flavor ink cartridges, mind you, but that the printed papers be shipped with them...
Though I suppose they could try both, but if the printer malfunctions, they'd starve if they relied on this exclusively.
But this allows for more efficient storage. With a bit more tweaking with the proper research, with proper packaging which can also reduce the amount of exposed surface, this could be a really great way to provide nutrients for space travel, etc.
I don't consider this asian girl i am seeing my girlfriend - but she sleeps with me, and she is hot - so I might have a better deal then the above guy with a "hot asian girlfriend"
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.
I'd like some "Nutrition Facts" sheet in^H^H along with that thing... at least with traditional sushi (salmon) I knew it had some protein. I'm not gonna swallow lots of rice and edible paper just to get fat.
Years ago (early 90's) there was a show called Beyond 2000 which would feature new and innovative gadgets. One of them was this paper (looked like saran wrap) that would be flavored like some food and you could eat it. It would have all the nutrients you needed....though sorry - i can't see myself getting full on this and while nutrition is important - people generally eat because they are hungry.

Lutefisk isn't bad, it's just prima facie disgusting. I had it as a kid, but haven't for some time. Lefse and krumkake are my favorite Norwegian foods. You probably have not tried this, but instead of butter, spread a very thin layer of peanut butter on a sheet of lefse and roll it with sugar. It's a fantastic variation. I doubt that peanut butter would work as well on lutefisk, though. ;)
That's just because after 9 months of winter, *anything* tastes good.... :-)
Honestly, when making lutefisk the old-fashioned way, the fumes from the lye can peel the paint off the walls. My gransmother used to drive me out of the house with the stench...

To be fair I'm not eating beef no matter how you cook it either.
Look at that white nigga, he ain't no cook no sushi!
I've heard the su + (me)shi theory from several Japanese as well.
Next you are going to say she likes watching Anime and playing on the PS2. :-P
Yes, and her tits are fantastically huge too...

Oh I can do that. For free.
I just went to Moto tonight, and I have to say, I was impressed. Not all of the courses were great. I could have done without the carbonated orange. But many of them - New York Strip with braised pizza and garlic, french fry chain with sweet potato pie, and the three ounces of donuts were amazing, inventive, and like no other food I've had.
The strip steak was three straightforward slices of strip steak, with braised greens flavored to taste like pizza. The forks had garlic impaled on the ends to just give the whole meal a scent of garlic. The french fries were a chain of sweet potato french fries served with at two-dimensional sweet potato pie. (Just a sauce, basically.) And the donuts were a sweet drink.
If you're a foodie at all, this is a cool restaurant that does stuff nobody else does. Yeah, it's pricy. But it's an experience.

She assures me that Korean "sushi", known as kimbap, was invented far before the japanese version.
Then again, the Korean/Japanese friction extends far beyond seawood paper, so the veracity of such reports is suspect.

Lots of cultures have some sort of fermented fish. For example, the ancient Romans had garum, and the Vietnamese have a modern version called nuc-nam.

Back around 1995, when I started learning HTML and was reading that just about anybody with a web page was making a million dollars somehow, one of my first ideas was "PizzaFax" -- a website where you would pay to fax somebody a picture of a pizza with selected toppings. I never implemented this idea for lack of scripting skills, and soon forgot about it. I guess it still wouldn't work because the recipient's fax machine wouldn't have the special flavored inks. Never mind. I just got all excited for nothing. Shoot.
