The pizza generator is very close to done.  I’ve got to expand the formulas for meat/veggie combos and maybe tweak the probabilities, then it’s good to go!  Check these out!

  • A pizza with Apple, Pinto Beans, Zucchini, Pineapple, Natto, Garlic, and Roasted Fennel, topped with Fontina and Bulgogi Sauce.
  • A pizza with Apple, White Onion, Salami, Short Rib Meat, Hot Dogs, and Bacon.
  • A pizza with Artichoke Hearts, Broccoli, Cilantro, and Parsley, topped with Gouda and Pesto Sauce.
  • A pizza with Artichoke Hearts, Mushrooms, Burdok Root, White Onion, Fennel, and Roasted Fennel, topped with Tomato Sauce.
  • A pizza with Cauliflower, Jalapenos, and Herbs De Province.
  • A pizza with Green Pepper, Cauliflower, Banana, Egg, Prosiccuto, Pulled Pork, Tuna, and Butter Chicken.
  • A pizza with Ground Beef, Egg, Ham, and Banana Peppers, topped with Parmesian.
  • A pizza with Pickled Ginger, Yellow Onion, Cashews, and Parsley.
  • A pizza with Red Onion, Scallions, Zucchini, Pickled Ginger, Argula, and Red Chillies.
  • A pizza with Romaine Lettuce, Kimchi, Red Pepper, Fennel, and Garlic.
  • A pizza with Argula, Eggplant, Yellow Onion, Cashews, Roasted Fennel, and Cilantro, topped with Swiss Cheese and Tandoori Sauce.
  • A pizza with Canadian Bacon, Linguica, Prosiccuto, and Bannana Peppers.
  • A pizza with Carmelized Onions, Black Olives, Sauerkraut, Chipotle Pepper, and Herbs De Province, topped with Barbeque Sauce.
  • A pizza with Clams, Pulled Pork, Salami, Herbs De Province, and Red Chillies.
  • A pizza with Jalapenos, Burdok Root, Pickles, Potatoes, and Green Pepper, topped with Colby and Fontina.
  • A pizza with Kidney Beans, Pine Nuts, Pinto Beans, Butter Chicken, Hot Dogs, and Tuna.
  • A pizza with Mushrooms and Bacon.
  • A pizza with Roasted Fennel, Bell Pepper, Olives, Black Beans, and Basil, topped with Colby.
  • A pizza with Salami, Tuna, Garlic, and Italian Spices, topped with Cheese Sauce.
  • A pizza with Zucchini, Caramelized Onions, Shredded Carrots, Pickled Jalapenos, Mango, and Cilantro, topped with Ricotta and Cheddar.

The updated version has options for any, meats only, veggies only, and of course mixes.  It’s led to some insane stuff – but also some delicious ideas.

Pizza Generator – Sample Run!

So I’m back to work on the pizza generator, using all that data I collected before things got nutty.  This one is coming along well, but the data structures are surprisingly complex, so it’s going to take a week or two more to finish depending on my schedule.  However the results . . . well they speak for themselves!

  • A pizza with broccoli, black olives, zucchini, mango, pickled ginger, egg, clams, bacon, and linguica.
  • A pizza with butter chicken, linguica, salami, and ground beef, topped with fontina.
  • A pizza with chicken, bacon, and roasted fennel, topped with paneer.
  • A pizza with garbanzo beans, red pepper, kimchi, pickled garlic, apple, and egg.
  • A pizza with ground beef and jalapenos, topped with asiago and havarti.
  • A pizza with ham and butter chicken, topped with paneer.
  • A pizza with hot dogs and cilantro.
  • A pizza with mango, roasted fennel, canadian bacon, prosiccuto, ham, linguica, and pepperoni.
  • A pizza with pickled ginger, kimchi, shrimp, pulled pork, butter chicken, and steak.
  • A pizza with roasted fennel, steak, clams, bacon, sausage, and hot dogs.
  • A pizza with salami, butter chicken, meatballs, tuna, and short rib meat, topped with mozzarella and brown sauce.
  • A pizza with salami, egg, pepperoni, and shrimp.
  • A pizza with short rib meat, garlic, and parsley.
  • A pizza with spinach, shredded carrots, apple, pickled ginger, and argula.
  • A pizza with yellow onion, argula, canadian bacon, clams, tuna, and sausage.

It’s a bit meat-centric right now (results in the end will split between vegetarian and meat results), but looking good and properly crazy-yet-possible.

So strap on, your culinary dreams will continue!

After this I may take a break from food generators – they’re surprisingly challenging.  But I still want to do more, just maybe not one after another.

Fusion Food Generator – In Beta!

by

My theme for the next few generators, barring interruption or more likely distraction, is going to be food.  I love to cook, and it’s only natural I apply this to the generators.  Plus it’s kind of interesting to study how we name and create foods.  First up is the Fusion Food Generator, now in beta, which generates assorted items, leaning towards meals and snacks.  Let’s take a look at some samples, shall we?

  • Toasted Breaded Maple Mushroom and Cheese Pepperoni on Pasta
  • Pesto Jerky
  • Broiled Deviled Lemon Corn and Pepperoni Duck on Kimchi
  • Mango Corn Dumpling with Teriyaki sauce
  • Toasted Wasabi Cabbage and Pepperoni Onion
  • Stuffed Oyster with Wasabi sauce
  • Honey Squid
  • Tempura Cream Sausage and Artichoke Salmon on Biscuit
  • Peppered Spiced Eggplant and Onion Nuggets
  • Firey Mushroom
  • Battered Pepperoni Chicken on Dumplings
  • Deep-fried Curry Mushroom and Eggplant Chicken
  • Shrimp Pilaf
  • Garlic and Bacon Pepperoni
  • Potato on Toast

Not sure how you jerk Pesto, but who am I to judge?  Anyway, let me know what you think!
