Frog Legs and Lollipops

Another Statesman book review

Since all of us are vegetarians this might not be as mouthwatering a read as it should. But there are lots of interesting facts in the article - did you know there was a Surrealist movement in the culinary arts too ? My apartment-mate and I have cooked up some surreal stuff over the years ... never knew that we were at the vanguard of an artistic movement.

For the record I am not a vegetarian due to ethical reasons - I think those arguments are bogus. The fact is each time I've tried eating meat I've thrown up.

The review almot reads like a parody, right? I mean, the quote about him falling apart like a souffle, him basicaly taking others recipes and 'lightening' them up etc. A little more in the face humour and it would have been in the same category as the finalgoodbye.ppt. Its, after all, food! Well, I say that because, I'm also guilty of having been at the vanguard of not the surreal (come of think of it, maybe?) but definitely the minimalist movement in cooking - minimal cooking, evn better if someone else can do it for me.
