that's funny but not a huge surprise
"The fact is I don't know what'll become of us.
Here it is the middle of August and the coldest day of the year. It's simply freezing; the dogs are sticking to the sidewalks; can anybody explain that? No.
But I'm not surprised. The whole world's at sixes and sevens, and why the house hasn't fallen down about our ears long ago is a miracle to me."

I'm not sure about the substance of his claims wrt health, but there's an interesting point - many diners who insist on "local", organic, seasonal, etc. suspend all of these requirements when MG is involved, and seem happy to consume dishes that are more similar to industrially produced snack bars or even fish food than to traditional restaurant dishes.
I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

I suspect there is indeed a story to be written about molecular gastronomy and health: but the time is not yet ripe.

Well, thanks to these statements Sivan and I are now bound to be major stars on some German TV station that was at Can Fabes today. I managed not to mention the war. The food had all kinds of strange additives like NaCl and C12H22O11

The fact that german TV has any idea this debate exists is an encouragin start. Any idea which one? I can try and tape it for you.
Summarizing, then, we assume that relational information is not subject to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test.

The cameraman looked like he usually shoots those really soft core erotic flicks for RTL, but I didn't really ask. (and RTL isn't really German, is it? and I don't even know if they've been running those for the past 15 years or so)
At another table, some British diners responded with "no faces please, we are international spies and terrorists". I think they were taken seriously.

I think RTL is Italian. I also think Germans consider soft-core porn on TV after 10pm a basic human right.

Not at all, they think it's compulsory, especially if it contains Max Mosley.
The Nazi fetishes seem to be limited to the British upper classes.

The Nazi fetish is far too mild for a nation that considers multiple fisting and urolagnia as appropriate first date activities.

We've just removed several inappropriate comments from this Q&A. Going forward, those who think so highly of their own culinary prowess that they feel they have nothing to learn here should either 1) volunteer to teach an eGCI class, or 2) stay out of the eGCI altogether. Contentious posts and attempts to hijack this learning process will be removed as will their authors. Anyone who lacks the common sense to know what is and isn't appropriate in the current setting should err on the side of caution and say nothing. Thanks.
They Invoke Formal Academic Arguments Like the Intentionist Fallacy or the Logical Fallacy
“We would like the kitchen to cook for us.” That is the secret handshake used in the dining community to communicate to a chef or kitchen that you are serious about dining out and that you want to be accorded whatever special treatment the restaurant holds in reserve for regulars and other serious diners.

Nah, it's like belly-dancing in the middle east. Purely for tourists.

No it's not. In fact, most sex tourists are German.
