[Sca-cooks] Fabrication?

[Brett / Wistan]

No real explanation of process.  Maybe something like "our specially
fabricated beef."  Well, to me this evokes images of some vat grown
horror show, similar to infamous KFC creations (
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/kfc.htm ).  Definitely not good
eats.

Speaking of which, this evil little meme seems to be making the
rounds.  I heard "fabricated" used in the context of chopping veggies
on Alton Brown yesterday.  I noticed it because it made me shudder.

Fabricated, from Webster, means "formed or conceived by the
imagination."  Used to describe disassembly it makes even less sense. 
At least Franken-chook is being made, after a fashion.

I don't know it's origins, but IMHO the only thing that should
fabricate beef is mommy and daddy beef.  Fabricating vegetables should
involve at least some kind of planting.
