“Food writing today recognizes our connections to food as legitimate, and recognizes food for all the varying things it can be…”

So before 2022, no one liked to eat and it was all ham sandwiches

Cringe

Wait, do you want onions on a ham sandwich? Peppers I could fuck with.

I remember asparagus jokes in the first volume, and beef-in-aspic in (I think) the second. But I do not remember that much about food. Actually, I probably remember more about food from Homer than from Proust.

Yes, OK, madeleines. I think that A.J. Liebling said something to the effect, If he could do that with madeleines, just think what he could do with cassoulet. (My copy of Between Meals: An Appetite for Paris was recently damaged in a flood, and has not yet been replaced.)
