However, now the Watson supercomputer is getting ready to [take on the best chefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/al-dente) in the world. Watson has already [come up for a recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sage-cooking) for what the supercomputer calls a "Spanish Crescent." Since Watson doesn't have any limbs, it still relies on human chefs to make the recipe involving cocoa, saffron, black pepper, almonds and honey.
