Good Food: A Personal Perspective.
 

Home, Sweet Home

I always wanted to be a chef. Naturally I turned out to be a really rotten cook. I could burn water if that were possible. I have melted more than a few pots in my day. But being a bad cook doesn't mean I don't appreciate good food. I love good food.

Of course my idea of good food may be someone else's idea of bad food. I don't care. Obviously other people love these foods too because I am not the only person who has ever eaten them. That is fair.

Food snobs are not very nice people. They think they know how food should be prepared but their ideas of "good" food tend to be underwarmed, overbloodied, poorly sweetened, and impeccably plated. When the presentation is as important or more so than the taste and texture of the food you know you're dealing with someone who has no taste buds.

Good food should be rich, sweet, delicate, and healthy. I'm still working on the healthy part. The worst thing about loving food is that too much food or food that has too much flavor is not always healthy for us. We literally eat ourselves to death.

Somewhere there must be a balance between food that tastes good and food that is good for us. We should not have to eat horribly flavored fruits, vegetables, meats, and weird dishes that only a drunken hippie would enjoy. People have gotten so caught up in their froufrou food snobbery they have forgotten that we love savory foods naturally.

I just don't want to savor my food so much that it adds 10 pounds a year to my waistline. I'm still working on that.
