Manton's Second Law
What was the first law? Did it have something to do with nuance? No black suits. If a given type of varietal is made in France and some other countires, the French version is better. fixed. They only say 'varietal' in the USA, so I'd stick with the original. ... and I'd mostly agree, but I...- Bouji

Do you find London unsafe?
Live in London, overall safe. Live in a 'safe' part of London, St. John's Wood, but have still have experienced an attempted mugging, not far from my home (not violent and not successful). Being shot is not something I foresee, but then again I don't use the busses. Someone brought up a valid...- Bouji

100 proof alcohol...
Got a bottle of stoli blue as regular 40% whisky, vodka, gin etc. just didn't cut it anymore... Question is, is it more pure? Mendlev worked with 40% vol vodka, but to me 100 proof (50% vol) sounds more pure...- Bouji

Why do restaurants serve bread..?
Ever heard of gnocchi? (Side note: I've yet to meet an American who pronounces this correctly.) EDIT: late. Sure, Gnocci is a primi, and the contorni may not include starch. So, my point stands, an Italian meal without a primi and a tradtional contorni would not include carbs/starch; hence...- Bouji

I think Waitrose has a sort of house wine called "Good Ordinary Claret". Tried it? K At its price, I love it. Do you know its a rip off of Berry Brothers and Rudd's 'House' wine?- Bouji

Why do restaurants serve bread..?
Wha? No carbs in Italian cuisine beyond pasta? Never heard that one before - they use the same carbs as French cuisine (potatoes, beans, etc...) + their own (e.g. polenta). I still don't see why Italian cuisine needs bread while French doesn't. Osteria, Trattoria and Retaurants outside Italy...- Bouji

Actually this is not far from what you'd get at his NYC place Adour Hahah You have to be joking? Perhaps Ducasse, with his recent expansion (read: world domination), is not the best example.- Bouji

Why do restaurants serve bread..?
Sorry I don't understand why they would need bread more than other cuisines... ? Antipasti: Prosciutto Crudo con Melone Primi: Carpaccio di Manzo Secondi: Cotoletta alla Milanese Dolce: Pesca cotta in camicia = No carbs, perhaps need bread.- Bouji

Why do restaurants serve bread..?
I would note that in Italy (and maybe other places), you actually pay for it (pane e coperto) True... As I say though, the Italians may 'need' bread. Although I don't know if 1 Euro (the coperto in a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Milan which I ate at) is enough to deter.- Bouji

Why do restaurants serve bread..?
It is ludicrous to extend this observation to the French. Bread, cheese, and wine are the culinary trinity. ........ So I next time I go to Alain Ducasse, I will sit down and expect nothing but good ordinary claret, pain de menage and some Roquefort? WTF?- Bouji
