Article Formatting

I think the article is a little sloppy in its formatting. Basically everything about Futurist food is placed under the "history" heading. I'll come back through with formatting suggestions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falijah (talk • contribs) 13:58, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I further developed the format, adding sections and expanding others. Thenewobjective (talk) 16:41, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sort of like they were predicting the rise of fast food

I was reading this article and a couple of things here predicted the rise of fast food. Like futurist meals, fast food has no knife or fork and there is usually no pasta dish in a fast food meal. So the people who predicted this meal to become a reality was probably predicting the staple food items of places like McDonald's and Burger King. There are no foreign dishes in a McDonald's meal and foreign words are rarely used to describe the food being served. It amazing how a bunch of Italian futurists suggest something that sounds like American fast food (even though they wouldn't like American fast food because it was "foreign.")

Thhe cuisine of Heston Blumenthal is more like Futurist food than the cuisine of Burger King. Marshall46 (talk) 11:04, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But Wendy's has the boneless chicken wings. In a certain way, Wendy's has pioneered the futurist meal by providing what could possibly be described as a "prototypical version of an in vitro chicken wing" because all in vitro meat products don't have bones in them.

I addressed the question of "fast food" via discussion of the influence of Futurist cooking on the Slow Food movement. Thenewobjective (talk) 16:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Espresso and relationship with fascism

I removed the following statements:

- Caffé espresso was first introduced during this period in order to make the consumption of coffee quicker, and to minimize opportunities for political discussion.
- The first espresso coffee maker, the Moka Express, was created and marketed by Alfonso Bialetti in 1933, and benefited from Futurist advertising and publicity.

For two reasons: first, they conflate espresso machines with home espresso machines. It is not clear what is meant by "this period" in the above, but espresso was introduced decades before fascism, and before futurism. Bialetti's Moka was the first home espresso maker, not the first espresso maker. Second, I did not find support in the referenced article (Schnapp 2001) to the statements made above: to the fact that espresso was introduced to minimize political discussion, or that Bialetti benefitted from futurist advertising. Schnapp does mention that Marinetti called himself the caffeine of Europe, so I kept that statement and reference. - FlorentinaBizzaria (talk) 17:21, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
