I know this will probably piss people off, sorry.
I'm glad somebody said it, you shouldn't have to be an iron chef to do the things he describes.


Heh, I'll go the other way and say I enjoy all the little rabbit holes those discussions often take. Being a sensory nerd, I was quite happy when Colin and Sean started talking about taste and smell.
Though for the record: there are still only 5 basic tastes --sweet, salty, sour/acidic, bitter and umami. The court is still out on fat as I understand it, but it does look promising.

wow, riveting...

Landfill: [Landfill gets mad, throws his trophy] God damn brewery! You know that brewery makes 10,000 bottles of beer a day. I drink 45 of them, and I'm the asshole!
