Funny-strange industrial "food" terminology
This industrial foods site is a treasure-trove of cognitively dissonant cuisine description -- hearing "food" with names like "Blendomix," "Blendoplus" and "Superbix" described in such terms as "fully deoderised." "oiling out" and "anti-staling agent" is genuinely weird, like something out of Pohl and Kornbluth's satirical novel The Space Merchants. Link (via Making Light)
