Smørrebrød, that is the Danish thing. Likely a reason they are happiest 
in Europe, yet have shorter lifespans than the rest of Scandinavia :-)

Besides Natashas glamorous adventures, this thread might be a good place 
to bring up transhumanistic cooking. I got "Cooking for Geeks" for 
Newtonmass, and it is a brilliant way of looking at cooking. Sure, there 
are many other books on they physics and chemistry of cooking, but this 
one included great ideas on how to hack cooking. From making 
eigenpancakes (take statistics of online recipes) to sous vide chocolate 
tempering to five different methods of how to figure out what spices go 
with what. After all, we do not just want to eat healthy and enhancing 
stuff, we want it to taste amazingly good too.
