Good meals, ça va sans dire, should not be corseted by classic formulas or restricted to scarce foodstuff. This is what nouvelle cuisine is all about: less emphasis on heavy, masking sauces, greater reliance on the fresh flesh, fish, fowl and vegetables that can be encouraged to speak for themselves.

...veal, in all its luscious Latin variations, are worth a book unto themselves.

...current wall poster campaign has roots that date back to the Manchu dynasty (1644-1911). when imperial proclamations were pinned to city and palace gates. In the pre-World War II Kuomintang Republic, Communists used posters to inflame the local population against "the landlords who eat our flesh" and "the traitors who sell China to Japan." Poster polemics reached a new level of sophistication during the Cultural Revolution, when fanatical Red Guardsmen used them to attack "capitalist readers" like Teng Hsiao...
