So our dear collective acquaintance @gallusrostromegalus has this in the authors notes of chapter 9 of The Power Of Friendship And This Gun I Found:

So I, a sweet unsuspecting soul, bounced over to duckduckgo to Experience this, for surely it could not be that bad

It's got teeth. It's got teeth in it's claws. There's fucking molars in there

GASTRONOMIE | Moutarde de Charroux, fierté de ce village de l'Allier ➽ https://bit.ly/Moutarde-Charroux À Charroux, dans l'Allier, on fabrique une moutarde d'exception. Elle fait la renommée du village classé parmi les « plus beaux villages de France ». Son goût particulier lui permet de se différencier de la moutarde de Dijon

Fisher’s pioneering “gastrography” or “foodoir” won plaudits on its 1943 publication. Most famously from one of greatest poets of the 20th century. “I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose”, wrote WH Auden. Fisher’s story is about her personal experience of food and the pain of war. She writes richly and variously of food and communion, of “the warm round peach pie and the cool yellow cream”, of how she “ate bread on a lasting hillside” or “drank red wine in a room now blown to bits”. An extraordinary combination of travelogue and feminism, strawberry jam and oysters, fascists and refugees, love and hunger.

My favorite source notes in The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture by Rebecca L. Spang

One recent analysis argues that Mayeux, though a “deformed dwarf,” was a “hero of the people”

It is unclear whether the murder of a lingerie merchant by her lover, a Russian servant, happened in a cabinet or in the restaurant’s main salon

Carême, by far the most famous chef and cookbook author of the first half of the nineteenth century, prefaced his books with calls for martyrdom; no sacrifice was too great for the chef’s art

The invasions of 1814-1815 had been “disastrous from the perspective of glory” but nonetheless very profitable

The utopian socialist Charles Fourier had offered a “scientific” perspective on this ideal, arguing that when humanity progressed from the state of “Civilization” to that of “Harmony,” the polar icecaps would melt and fill the oceans with lemonade.

The police also kept Napoleon up to date on conditions in the fan industry

Another of the Almanach’s rare ventures in recipe publishing concluded: “one would eat one’s own father if he were prepared with this sauce,”

The little old lady who followed the First Consul everywhere in the hope of inviting him to dinner

Even a recent, generally friendly, biographer writes of Louis’s “huge size which, if nothing else, was to make him such a remarkable king”

Although the first anniversary of Bonaparte’s coup had not been declared a state holiday, it had nonetheless been spontaneously celebrated by “the fatherland’s real friends”

The numerous turn-of-the-century singing societies have yet to find their historian

The seesaw was a staple of post-revolutionary French political imagery. It was especially common in depictions of the physically slight Napoleon and the bulky Louis XVIII

Physicians claimed that unqualified persons, in reading about diseases, would start to see all the symptoms in themselves. The Gazette de santé decried inexpensive medical dictionaries as “just so many swords in the hands of fools” and reported a case of “cholera induced by reading popular medical books,”

The Swedish monarch was often praised for his sagacity in outlawing copper cookware.

De Jaucourt, author of this article, cites Homeric heroes as dietary role models

An article in the Encyclopédie also made it clear that semen had to be directly replaced with nourishment

He explains, “They are for a financier who is going to do his rounds through the provinces. Can a man of his importance put up with the horrible soups they serve in inns?”

Fights might erupt over other tastes as well; for one over salad dressing

The Marquis de Brunoy famously squandered his inheritance on tinting a river black and dressing his gardeners, cooks, and other servants in lavish, gold-braid-festooned costumes, while he himself dressed in rags

no offense to people who can't cook but i have zero tolerance for a failed cheese sauce. if it's grainy i'm killing you. if there's cheese pulls coming off my pasta you're on thin fucking ice. and if it's runny? you'll be the first against the wall.

Oh I just remembered that very early during the pandemic or a little before idk I had a dream on which I was living on a beach town and working as a teacher and I looked very different (long dark hair, prettier, just more mature, normie & put together in general ?) and when I woke up was like haha that's never going to happen, I could never work at a school or get out of the gastronomic system, I'm doing this for life + moving out is impossible anyway with my salary. And now... 5 years later (that felt like much less??) I'm doing (nearly) all that :|
