Yeah, food is like music, it's just not enough to hit the right notes and there is infinite variations even with the same notes in the same order. Food also uses TWO senses so it's even more complicated.
It's probably difficult to program something to arrange atoms just the way your grandma used to.
TNG episodes have touched on that very point. Data had played his music by duplicating famous musicians exactly, but, following Picard's advice, he began using variations of two or more combined, which Picard suggested was more like human creativity.
Excellent points!
Food uses all five senses. Besides taste and smell, we respond to the look of food, and also how it feels, it's texture. We even talk about "mouth feel." Crunchy, creamy, smooth, spicy, etc. are all a part of the sense of touch.
Hearing? When you are in a restaurant, and they rush a tray of hot fajitas past your table, don't you swivel your head to look toward it as soon as you hear that sizzle? How about the loud crunch of a Doritos, or a taco?
