The natural diet of chicken, America's most popular animal protein 'product', consists of flies, larvae, worms, decaying corpses and ants, and wild-caught trout gets its protein from insects".. That's often why fish leap out of the water.....In the not too future, our burgeoning human populations, having devoured 90% of the World's 'classier' animals, will have to resort to eating lower forms of life.....much, much lower.......like processed fleas, worms, maggots and larvae.....you get the picture........As much as I like 'gourmet' cooking and 'fine' dining....I have no problem that this scenario........After all.....it seems more humane to spare baby goats and beef 'veal' from our industrial carnivorousness.......make way for companies like Protix Biosystems and Agriprotein to supplant Industrial Muscle Meat Production......Anyone for fried tofu with insect larvae?

this picnic 'fruitcake on the grass' was never mentioned in Jane Austin's novel.....nor would these ladies have been served from the pedestrian, mustard-colored plate like the one I utilized this morning....

Ginger tea, preserved orange and lemon peels in honey, with English walnuts atop chia seed, and cognac-marinated black raisin fruitcake fill the bill on a chilly morning......reconstructed from a taste-memory from last night's Muted-Colour Dream of High Tea at Harrods, 40 years ago......displacing a rather boring pre-dawn intention to have a poached egg on sourwood toast......demonstrating how dreams can enhance the ordinariness of a chilly, housebound morning, viewing...for the umpteenth time......Ang Lee's hyper-detailed romantic study of Jane Austin's "Sense & Sensibility"s focus on elegant dining at a well-appointed Table....guests, all in beautiful Jenny Beavan finery.......may I utilize your dessert fork, if you will, Zack MacLeod Pinsent, since you can, surely, nibble this...even while wearing white gloves?
