Down and dirty

This Japanese chef is charging a lot to serve diners meals made with...dirt.

Would you bother? Not one for novelty, so at the price I'm a no....

Link doesn't work , but that probably doesn't matter much.

I think the link needs a ".html" at the end.

Read the article. What I wonder about is the texture. I don't like gritty food, but maybe this dirt consists of mostly organic stuff? In any case, I'm not intrigued with the dirt idea.

Letterman asked Zevon if his condition had taught him anything about life and death. ''How much you're supposed to enjoy every sandwich,'' Zevon answered. (From a 2003 NYTimes article on Zevon by Jon Pareles.)

Intuitively, it creeps me out. :shock:

I do like stones in my wines, though. :)

Too bad they use only one special soil, there are possibilities for a terroir tasting menu!

yeah, it kind of lends a whole new meaning to "goût de terroir"
