The lighter side of food

There are times - many of them actually - when the food world takes itself too seriously to be taken seriously. It's just too damn precious. Yes, issues regarding carbon emissions from farming and good animal husbandry are fine fare for a serious discussion, but when we get so deathly earnest about artisanal beer, the merits of a Lacanche oven, and the moral high ground achieved by making our own vinegars at home, it's all a bit revolting.
