Hello and welcome.

Hey there, visitor.  Welcome to Of Feasts and Fools, a collection of just about the most random musings on food, drink, and culture you might find in one place.  Like many people out there, I like to eat, drink, and be merry.  I am neither a culinary professional nor a critic.  I won't tell you what to think.  Instead, I will give you things to think about.

What you will find here are tidbits about ingredients, dishes, their histories, culture, and maybe a good place to get them, without pretentiousness but with copious geekiness.  For someone learning to cook, you might find some helpful hints.  For someone looking for new things to try, maybe you'll find some good ideas.  And if you have some ideas of your own, please share!  Adventurers love company.

Experiment.  Try new things, even if they sound disgusting at first.  That's part of the adventure, after all.
