Outlander's Musings on Our Beloved Regions

Look at me with an uncharacteristically brief post (pseudo-tweet?...gag. Sorry, won't mention that ever again. I will go wash my mouth out with whiskey in penance).

Read the following post from a Hungarian Gent's blog entitled "The Fine Cuisine of Upstate New York." It made me laugh, it as if someone from the moon is trying to describe very exotic sorts of things like hot wings and beef on weck. Aw Juice! Rockchester! Ha...

Referring to NYS as "the far eastern marches of the Midwest" makes it sound all exotic and stuff.

Quote of the Week

“A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners.”
― George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier

“	A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch.	”
