Again with the food

Have I made it clear why the mysteries, Eye Sleuth and Eye Wit contain a lot about food (though not as much as Joy of Cooking)? It certainly isn’t because of Hasta Cuisine, which means, as anyone who speaks French knows, Fast French Food. Nor is it because Cogito Eggo Sum – again, Latin readers know that means: I think, therefore I am a waffle. No, it’s because food is a staple, like sunshine, water and air. Naturally food is omnipresent in prose. Did the fact that I edited Community Cuisine, the excellent cookbook published by the Franklin Cooperative (Massachusetts), color my thinking ? Does the amazing feline in the picture (yes, she’s a kissing cousin of Yoko’s brother cats)  know? Perhaps check with http://dhberry.wordpress.com though he may not know but he sure is a good cook.
