Day of interviews
I started the day with a really fun food history interview, which I’ll blog about properly as soon as it’s webbed. I’m ending the day with a fiction-related interview. If that’s not enough reading for you, there’s another interview here. I do love the tendency of US interviewers to use my title :). It makes me feel extraordinarily educated.
The trouble is (as you might have guessed) tonight I don’t feel quite as educated as usual. No big insights into food history. I’m in the almost-over-virus-and-can’t-move-or-think stage of the week
It’s been a big week for insights (despite cold and virus and other impediments to normality): I had that paradigm shift earlier in the week and I’ve been processing it ever since. I have a much better understanding of the difference between what we think about a country’s food and the reality of that food and how they interplay.
There will be more insights, because over the next few days I’ll be preparing my half hour talk on “Ancient Food” for Australia’s National Science Fiction Convention. I think I promised them kosher butchers, suicidal gourmands and Medieval Viagra. I don’t know what that promise will lead to, but if it’s entertaining, iIll blog it.
Enjoy your extra reading tonight, and I’ll get back to ordinary programming just as soon as I can muster a bit more energy.
