Cap your meal off with a NIST 1196a standard issue cigarette? I am told they taste like drywall and taxes.

Perhaps you would prefer some standard issue meat.

A suggested product is "domestic sludge", lol. This is such a fun rabbit hole:

I had seen the cigarette. But but not the meat which costs $2,690 for four tuna-can size cans and is a mix of pork and chicken

Thinking of a concept for a restaurant meal along the lines of a calibrated fried spam dinner, that costs ~2k for about a can worth, fried like they do in Hawaii.

Come to think of it, would love to see an “iron chef- calibrated foods” edition.
