Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a food product having a plurality of sections having different characteristics, comprising the steps of:extruding a first stream of a first liquid food product having a first characteristic on to a moving platform, said first stream having a height and width with respect to said platform; extruding a second stream of a second liquid food product having a second characteristic adjacent to said first stream on said platform, said second stream having a height and a width with respect to said platform; and spreading out said first stream and said second stream such that said height of said first stream and said height of said second stream decrease and said width of said first stream and said width of said second stream increase, and such that said increasing width of said first stream abuts said increasing width of said second stream on the platform, and wherein a first viscosity of said first stream and a second viscosity of said second stream inhibit substantial mixing of said first stream with said second stream.
