1) Corned-beef hash...roast-beef hash (for which I have a good recipe!)...
or does the user select the variety of hash to be generated?

2) Should the application also generate the side dishes (if any), or
are those to be provided by the user?!

3) If such an application actually exists, it would seem that the
hitherto-assumed-impossible bridge between digitalia and actual solid
objects has FINALLY been crossed...?! If so, my compliments to both
the chef and the programmer(s) involved...
