[hackerspaces] Let's end the unnecessary joining of the words "food" and "hacking"

[Jamie Schwettmann]

A few food hacking possibilities:

Vacuum-extracted coffee.
Nitrous-extracted coffee.
Synthesized caffeine.
Polymerized chocolate.
Polymerized cheese.
Polymerized gluten chains.
Edible batteries.
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.
