Friedrich --

In FrontPage, J.P Zmirak puts together an amusing political taxonomy of eating, then sets sail into deeper waters, here. (Link thanks to Sasha Castel, here.) A terrific piece on the theme of what a disservice it is to all of us to reduce political philosophy to a simple matter of left vs. right.

Sample passage:

What cuisine epitomizes the Right? Why French, of course. Rich, creamy, aristocratic dishes, replete with historically-derived inflections, baptized after kings and their queens (or mistresses), or more piously after saints, abbots and monasteries. (Coquilles St. Jacques, Dom Perignon and Chartreuse come to mind.) The French kitchen is replete with great names of great individuals, men who toiled in the kitchens of the rich, whose achievements “trickled down” to the ordinary fare of lady cooks in the provinces.

Best,
