You Gotta Put Salt


I've decided that I want to try to post more food-related, not-just-recipe-driven, content. Above is a video that I've had bookmarked for a while now, since a friend posted it on my Facebook page (btw, become a Facebook fan of Meals by clicking the link to the right). It's Frank Gehry and Mark Bittman talking about matzah brei, as you've likely already discerned. And it's a delightful video.

I think it's excerpted from that most-indulgent PBS show where Paltrow-n-pals make uncomfortably sexual noises as they lazily eat and drive convertibles through Spain. But that's neither here nor there. This bit is just delicious. I love how intently Bittman wants to impose architecture (+/- beauty) on Gehry's cooking and I love how Gehry just says "no." And I love these two timeless tips: "you gotta put salt" and "if you put sugar on stuff, people are gonna vote for it."
