Robot food taster created to determine the authenticity of Thai food.

It has been reported that Yingluck Shinawatra is the brains behind the robot Thai food taster, the idea is said to standardize the art of Thai cuisine and came to Ms. Shinawatra after she had one bland meal too many.

It has been said that an government agency called the Thai Delicious Committee, created solely for this task have come up with an intelligent robot who measures the smell, and taste in food ingredients through sensor technology in order to taste food in the same was as a food critic, however it cannot take the place of a critic as it looks objectively to find the balance of spices in a dish rather than to form any opinion of it.

It is generally agreed by the Thai population that the authenticity of Thai dishes overseas is far more of a problem than at home, where traditional ingredients such as tamarind, Thai galangal are lacking.

Restaurants who pass the robotic authenticity test will be able to proudly display the Thai Delicious logo to their menus or, if they wish, they can purchase the machine themselves for the bargain price of five hundred and eight thousand baht
