Humor In Dishes

[Michael Laiskonis]

Yes, but given the topic of this thread, I'm not sure I'm all that amusing.

Bill Yosses also moved through Bouley Bakery, yes? Thanks for the info... I guess I should comment over there.

"This larger-than-llife recipe, with its truly Tabelaisian list of ingredeints, makes a good story to tell while dining on a more traditional pot-au-feu. . .

Cabales, should that be Rabelaisian, or am I missing a pun?

Edit: A genuine question, not a nit-picking comment on a typo.

In the course of researching The Inn at Little Washington, I noticed some suggestively-named desserts: (1) "Seven Deadly Sins", a chocolate-based dish, and (2) "White Chocolate Mousse in Bed between Dark Silky Sheets". It's hard to tell whether the names were intended to also be humorous, as I have never visited the rsetaurant.
