my parents have began to liquidise my sunday roasts, and i dont know what to think. I like food, and so at first thoroghly resented the idea: yet i can also see the logic behind it – i now eat much faster and make far less mess.

the questioon then is one of logic vursus social niceness. I come from a very scientific family, where science is prized over art (and most other diciplines). I supppose this to be expected.

yet i still want to chhew mmy food myself. liquidised food lacks the taste and texture of un-mushed stuff, as science lacks the humanity of art: one must have both to appriciate either.

i must appologise if this doesn’t make sense – with my liquidised food i also had some unliquidised cote du Rhone.
