Orthorexia or Golden Rules - longish

Well done Martin, I had a good laugh. I have met people people that follow your every commandment. The fundamentalist snotty gourmet, I suppose...

Personally, I follow at least half of your commandments, so I only felt half ridiculed after reading your Orthorexia ;-)))

Your parodied food maniac must indeed have lots of time to spare if he can manage to stay away from the supermarket (or he has a local shopkeeper that will not fleece him for the convenience of selecting his non-instant tee and his non hydrogenated oils).

But I ask, what could be wrong with dried pasta? And there ARE some (few) very good wines sold in BIB ! And am I missing so much by not having the RIGHT Riedels?

I have absolutely no problem with this attitude and confirm obiding to the same rule. And I did out myself as casual McDonalder as early as over 20 years ago, when they started in Austria. Btw, I've heard that Austria might be the only country in the world where *every* McDo outlet sells beer. Can somebody confirm (or refute) this?

You bad, Mike! ;-)

Austria has a far higher beer consumption (115.2 litres) than wine (30.6 litres)*.

Yes I probably follow only about half the list. Tho' I do find myself occasionally (and unconsciously) swirling and sniffing at a glass of tap water. Martin

Right, confession time. What other terrible habits have you developed since you started tasting wine seriously? I hope nobody gets caught tasting food and then spitting it into the wine bucket...
