"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer

Precocious Little Shit Reckons This Isn’t Real Carbonara

“At Mitch’s house, his Dad grates fresh Parmesan in a bowl and uses real guanciale instead of whatever this white muck is."

Laugh if you must, but recently my 9 yo had a sleepover and when the mom of the kid he was visiting asked, what he wanted for breakfast he said “Eggs Benedict, because that’s what we eat at home”*. The mom had to google EB and he got a toast with a fried egg, which he declared “also tasty” …

That is some scary shit, my friend.  This past week, up in Provincetown, I offered to make a first-course Spaghetti all'amatriciana, at a cookout we were invited to.  Try to find guanciale in P'town! I think I might've been lucky to find this...

Still came out okay (I mean, no one was any the wiser).  As to that Dolmio Carbonara sauce, this make me want to run in the other direction...quickly!

In Jacques Pepin's 'The Apprentice: My Life...' he describes an incident when his daughter was young and was served asparagus at a friend's house. She wasn't eating it so her friend's mother asked her if she had ever had asparagus before and she replied she was waiting for the hollandaise as that is how it was served at home.

See - the problem isn't that someone at homes makes a carbonara and uses some god-awful ingredients, or someone makes an Amatriciana and uses American smoked bacon instead on an unsmoked product...the problem is when restaurants do that.  The same problem exists when a restaurant makes a Caesar salad...out of friggin' kale.

 

(Let's not get started on blank-tinis!)
