COMPUTERISED scanners and "fuzzy logic" software have been harnessed by food scientists to yield the mathematically perfect pizza.

The pizza of the future will have sauce spread evenly and lushly across its base and its mushrooms, ham, sweetcorn and other toppings will be positioned with millimetric accuracy, thanks to the culinary efforts of Sun Da-Wen and Tadhg Brosnan at Ireland's University College Dublin.

The breakthrough was derived from digital snapshots of 25 pizzas which were then broken down and transformed into a mathematical formula to define the optimal pizza's base area, spatial ratio between toppings and circularity.

The study is reported in next Saturday's New Scientist. It is published in full in a specialist publication, Journal of Food Engineering.

The findings should be useful for ensuring quality control in pizza factories, enabling cameras to instantly pick out a pie with sparse toppings or which is skimpy or patchy on sauce.

useless science

Id rather have food made by people

Sweetcorn?? On pizza??

that's stupid

mushrooms

what a waste of time.. those are the scientist rejects who couldnt get a job finding a cure for AIDS or cancer eek: hake:

"Let's make a perfect pizza instead of curing cancer..."

Tax dollars at work....whoohoo......? eek:

Meh! I'm not complaining....Good food...

shit, everyone knows it's the sauce that makes a good pizza !!

the perfect pizza is one I didnt pay for
mb

Wouldt this make the pizza more expensive? ed:

wont this just make americans even fatter?? evil:

Is it possible? oOo:

Pizza sucks. hake:
