All you have described is a new process with working with foods. If I start to freeze curry, place it in a bag, vacuum seal it, and then cook it in boiling water without removing it from said bag, does it count as hacking? No. It just counts as a new preparation method.

The inability to differentiate between "food hacking" and "food preparation" here is astounding.

A few food hacking possibilities:

<div>
Vacuum-extracted coffee.
</div>
<div>
Nitrous-extracted coffee.
</div>
<div>
Synthesized caffeine.
</div>
<div>
Polymerized chocolate.
</div>
<div>
Polymerized cheese.
</div>
<div>
Polymerized gluten chains.

<div>
Edible batteries.

<div>
Sugar candy prisms -- sugar candy lasers?

I dare you to explain how/whether any of these could arise without invoking substantial technical detail, or to make them without using entirely the "wrong" tools in a haphazardly equipped hackerspace kitchen, or without inventing more tools, and still accurately predict the spectral analysis results that indicate success. Then, I dare you to test your spectral analysis predictions without inventing something on the spot... and it still has to be safe to eat afterwards. ;)

Bonus points: make all of these psychoactive.

In some places it's illegal to call yourself an engineer with certain exceptions.

As a result, I reserve the right to not permit yourself to label yourself as a hacker. I can label you as someone who has an inability to contribute to a conversation without any meaningful content. I am assuming you're responding to my remarks on this mailing list due to the malaise you may experience questioning what you have chosen to label yourself?

Oh. The ego hacking that is being engaged in this thread. By the way, is engineering "hacking" too? Can I be a geotechnical hacker? A chemical hacker? A computer hac... oh wait.
