The phone-foodie

So recently at Japan's largest tech trade show there were soooooo many cool new technologies. One that caught my eye was an app that helps people pretend that they know things about food. It uses photo recognition to give you recpies and identification of what you are eating.

I am a self proclaimed foodie and i have worked hard to expand my knowledge of flavours and other things involved in amazing dishes but this app allows people to have the same abilities and more with one app and picture. Now i wont seem as smart. The app is currently only in Japanese and im not sure how many foods it can recognize or if they are plated in different forms if they will be recognized. But i think that it is still a really cool app and i will admit that sometimes i would really like to know how to cook things i eat...
