So, We Taste Like Bacon?

Ever wondered what human flesh would taste like but you've never been trapped in the Andes due to a horrific plane crash? Then this cute little robot has the answer. Designed by researchers in Japan, the Winebot is supposed to be for sorting different types of wine, cheese and hors d'oeuvres. But when a reporter placed his hand against the sensor, he was declared to be "bacon". Anyone care to confirm?

I find the whole "bacon" thing pretty hard to swallow.

Maybe the reporter has swine flu? Stephen Colbert says tasting like bacon is an early symptom.
