Hi Andrew

Welcome to your discussion page! Ciao Saudade7 04:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Food and Drink etc.

I was fixing my page and made you a gift...it is the list of things I have in "food and drink" -- you can always cut and paste it somewhere else, or "edit this page" and write over it to get rid of it (although it will always be in your history on this page). Listening to Patti Smith and the Rolling Stones always makes me feel sad...

Biang biang noodles (touted as one of the "ten strange wonders of Shaanxi")
Brillat-Savarin cheese (goes well with medjool dates and also champagne)
Casu marzu (Some people clear the larvae from the cheese before consuming; others do not)
Durian (The odour has led to the fruit's banishment from certain hotels)
Entremet (food modeled into allegorical scenes)
Espelette pepper (Piment d'Espelette)
King cake (festival of Epiphany, Mardi Gras and Carnival)
Matcha (green tea used particularly in the Japanese tea ceremony)
Meat (animal tissue used as food)
Miracle fruit (molecule binds to the tongue's taste buds, causing bitter and sour foods (such as lemons and limes) consumed later to taste sweet)
Mukhwas (colorful Indian after-meal snack or digestive aid)
Oliebol (because of the fat in the oliebollen, her sword would slide off the body of whomever ate them)
Orgeat syrup (sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar and rose water or orange-flower water)
Ortolan Bunting (the bird François Mitterand ate for his last meal)
Paleolithic style diet (emulates the dietary patterns of the various human species living during the Paleolithic (the Old Stone Age))
Pastis (an anise-flavored liqueur and apéritif from France, typically containing 40–45% alcohol by volume)
Pierre Hermé (French pastry chef that Vogue called "the Picasso of Pastry")
Pimento cheese (core ingredients are grated cheddar cheese, chopped pimento, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and black pepper)
Pineau des Charentes (made from a blend of unfermented grape must and Cognac brandy. départements of Charente and Charente-Maritime)
Salad oil scandal (caused over $150 million in losses to corporations including American Express and Bank of America)
Subtlety (an entertainment dish used in the Middle Ages. It was a type of entremets; peafowl and swans)
- The good version of Subtlety
Umami (similar to Brillat-Savarin's concept of osmazome)

I'd just like to point out that I don't approve of Saudade spreading his venom concerning the conflict over at talk:subtlety to user talkpages.
