Chapter 49 - Replicator Food Patterns (Patreon)

Gothic's trip through the multiverse has been good for many things, but one probably underrated area is in expanding his database of great food from his home time period. But it makes you wonder, if you had the power to make these pattern copies, what would you want scanned/copied? Would you copy every dish made at a Micheline star restaurant? Would you go to your favorite local pizza place or bar? Your favorite street food vendor?

What would you guys scan if you had the ability to program your replicator?

“No, no, I replicated the food,” I answered simply, not quite sure how to broach this topic but deciding to power through and let it just come out organically. Rick looked understandably confused. “Replicators are advanced pieces of technology. They work primarily by converting energy into matter. Energy is used to rearrange an array of easily accessible atoms into whatever they are asked to create. A food replicator rearranges the atoms into pre-scanned food patterns. This coffee’s pattern, for example, was taken from a little café in Columbia. Moments after it was made, it was scanned, and now we can make an infinite number of copies from that pattern. These bagels were pattern scanned in Brooklyn. These pastries were replicated based on patterns taken from the best bakeries and patisseries in Paris.”
