Remember when you were four and your Mom used to yell at because you would eat paper? Well, she can't do that anymore. You're a little older now, and with restaurants like Moto in Chicago printing flavored inks on edible paper.
We have mentioned Chicago's Moto here on Slashfood before, and have posted about chefs who are pushing the envelope when it comes to dining. These chefs are seemingly less cooks than they are scientists and engineers, using technology to change the way diners experience food. Moto's chef, Homaru Cantu has modified a Canon i560 inkjet printer so that it prints inks made of fruit and vegetable juices onto sheets of soy and potato starch.
It's very innovative, no doubt, but I'm not sure how I feel about eating a picture of cow that tastes like steak. But hey, who knows, maybe this is the way real people will be eating in 20 years.
