I'm starting a restaurant in n-dimensional hyperspace and need some good ideas for recipes. Here's the menu so far:

Entrees (also available a la Descartes):
Tesseract of Lamb
Angstromboli
Minkowski Sausage
Split Peano Soup
Dedekind Cutlets

Sides:
Borromean Onion Rings

Deserts:
Sconic Sections (slices of scones)
Koch Snowcones
Graham's Cracker (an extremely large, but finite cracker; if you finish it in one go, it's on the house)

Ingredients:
Boolean Cubes
Creme Frege

Funny!
 
Not sure if you're trying to make us laugh but are you really starting a REAL restaurant with these oddly-named menu dishes?
 
If you start it for real, then it will be my favourite restaurant. :smile:

And then this restaurant would become popular for its odd but exquisite dishes that can't be found in most restaurants.
 
I'll have the Moebius striploin.
 
I'll have apple pi for dessert, please. :-p
 
Roast bohr, please.

Mebbe call it, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". (h/t Douglas Adams)

The Menu seems to be lacking in refreshments.

How about, 'All Refreshments served in Klein Bottles'

Seriously, what is Dedekind Cutlets? I couldn't find it in Google results. That name is too unique for a food menu.

It's a play on "Dedekind cut", very clever.

Ooo... I forgot that this is not a serious thread. Forgive me.
Anyway, regarding refreshments, I'd like to add Space Cocktails. How's that for a beverage menu?

no p-brane soup?

All the drinks would need to be named as variations of "gin and tonic"

Ew... I don't know which turns me off more, the "p" or the "branes".
 
  • #17
How about some side dishes that's perfect match for hard drinks? Roasted Infi-Nut, for example.
 
  • #18
Menger Sponge Cake and Ordered Pears
 
  • #19
I would suggest loops of spaghetti, but that's knot food. :smile:
 
  • #20
Fibonachos.
