[lbo-talk] More on Robert Paul Wolff

I share your sentiments. But more than "resolving difference" it tries to make difference inoffensive and, in creating unintuitive combinations of cuisines, it stresses the "arbitrary" nature of the differences. That is, rather than realizing that each cuisine (like each language) holds a mystery that can be experienced but not solved, it treats this mystery like a variable that can be inserted into any culinary equation.

Offensive to anyone who loves food.

The finest paragraph I've read in quite some time. Thanks.
