Thoughts on Food

Everyone has blarry thoughts on food. I don’t. But of course writing this means I do.

So: My thoughts on food:

Don’t tell others what to eat or what not to eat. If you must talk food, just tell them what you enjoy. Unless you’ve done genuine research and your results have been tested by other scientists, just tell us your favourite enjoyable food. No lessons given or implied. Amen.

So I like the two Anthonys:

Anthony Bourdain: Your body is not a temple! It’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride! “I travel around the world, eat a lot of shit, and basically do whatever the fuck I want.”

My kind of chef

…

Anthony Warner, The Angry Chef (paraphrased): It’s food. Eat it. Just not too much; Also, eat less sugar now; eat less meat whenever you can. He’s very interested in what food really does for us in real life (proper research) and gets irritated by influencers’ fad diets and insta-solutions.

Also my kind of chef

I like Chef Anthony B even more on grog:

Here a quote from the legendary chef Anthony Bourdain seems appropriate: “I would say that the angriest critiques I get from people about shows are when I’m drinking whatever convenient cold beer is available in a particular place, and not drinking the best beer out there. You know, I haven’t made the effort to walk down the street 10 blocks to the microbrewery where they’re making some fucking Mumford and Sons IPA. People get all bent about it. But look, I like cold beer. And I like to have a good time. I don’t like to talk about beer, honestly. I don’t like to talk about wine. I like to drink beer. If you bring me a really good one, a good craft beer, I will enjoy it, and say so. But I’m not gonna analyse it.”

Yay! I should’ve written to him before he died and told him about the PEF ©
