Nice to know that scientists are so busy

Scientists have created a mathematical formula of how to make the perfect bacon butty. Good grief!



Why? How much money was spent on this project?

And what next? As this "research" was commissioned at the University of Leeds, maybe the perfect recipe for tripe and onions? Or pork pies?

If anyone is interested by the way, the formula (yawn) is:

N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon...
