Roll B. J. et al., How flavour and appearance affect human FIELD OF THE INVENTION feeding. Proc. Nutr; SOC. (1982), 41, 109 argues that appearance of food can vary is in its shape. Changes in shape The present invention generally pertains to pasta-like also alter the feel of food in the mouth and it is known that edible products, especially spaghetti-like products made of food consistency and bite size determine the jaw movements fish, fish products and Surimi and to methods of manufacture during feeding, see Thexton, A. J., Hiemae, K. M. & of same. Crompton, A. W. (1980). J. Neurophysiol. 44,456. It has 10 been suggested that the muscle and neural activity associ BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION ated with mastication play an important role in food pref erence and may affect the amount of food eaten.

To determine whether shape is also an Fish and other aquatic organisms are also processed into important influence on feeding in humans, Roll et al. various food and non-food products. assessed the effect of offering a variety of shapes of food on Fish and fish products are versatile and may be minced, total energy intake in a meal. The foods used were different frozen, chopped, formed, cooked, fermented, boiled, fried, shapes of pasta served with equal portions of tomato sauce. breaded and processed in many ways. Subjects were tested twice, once with just the favorite shape Surimi is a paste made by fish or other meat, as well as repeatedly presented, and once with three different shapes multiple Asian foods that use Surimi as its primary ingre 25 (spaghetti, bow ties and hoops) presented in three successive dient. It is available in many shapes, forms, and textures, and courses. Roll et al., have found that there was a significant often used to mimic the texture and color of the meat of enhancement (~14%, P-0.07) of intake with the variety of lobster, crab and other shellfish. The most common Surimi shapes. In the condition in which just one shape was product in the Western market is imitation crab meat.
