Robot Chef Prepares Delicious Octopus Balls
In Osaka, Japan, a new robot has been built to demonstrate improvements in robotic food creation and preparation techniques. The "chef" creates the Takoyaki (octopus balls) in a detailed, three-step process. First, the robot prepares the main ingredients: chopped octopus, pickled ginger and diced scallions. These are rolled into balls and placed by hand (claw) onto the grill. Finally, the robot plates the dish by individually basting and spicing each ball with all the finesse and precision of a real chef.
Combine this with a robot bartender and an ice cream vending machine that automatically doles out scoops depending on your mood, and you'll never have to lift another finger in the kitchen again, right?

I've heard of people eating pigs balls, but I didn't know Octupus balls were also edible. In fact, I didn't even know that an Octupus even had any balls. Ya' learn something every day, don't ya'?

Colin, good try, but you know very well that that octopus balls have about as much to do with the mollusk's testes as meat balls have to do with sphagetti. Nice try, though! Lol
Try some Rocky Mountain oysters. They delicious. They're beef balls.

Scott,
You're wrong, my friend. Just ask any female octopus. They are there. You just have to know where to look for them.

It says that the robot chops octopus and mixes it with other ingredients and forms them into balls... not that an octopus has balls... LOL!
