One might posit that anyone who spent a good part of a night coming up with innovative ways to misboil a potato ought not to cast aspersions on others' foodie status...

Hey, somebody turned off my stove, so they were sitting in lukewarm water for a long time. I guess that's why Joe has a line of death in his kitchen.

Ah, of course, the ol' kitchen sabotage by mysterious enemies. You hear that one a lot on Top Chef, too.

It happens on Top Chef. Just the other week they told Ariane that her lemon meringue martini was fine when they privately told the camera it was too sweet. She almost had to pack her knives as a result. In fact, she probably should've since Padma literally spit her concoction out.

And yeah, I believe it when whoever it was said last season that someone turned the stove off on their rice.

Yes, that is exactly what we did to you.

What fun we had!

Did they catch the perp on camera?

Seems kind of ballsy considering all the surveillance.

There was no perp, it was just her rather lame excuse when she forgot to turn the burner on. Since everyone knows you're always on camera and you'd be thrown off immediately for cheating like that.

And wouldn't you agree that everything tastes better when sitting next to an attractive woman? :)

Not exactly, but I take your meaning.

And get rid of that emoticon, you want the Politburo crashing through the door?

I consider myself a foodie but I generally prefer to eat my food rather than look at it. And I find pictures of food to be tasteless, so to speak. Maybe that's just me.

To be honest, it doesn't sound like you're a foodie, but someone that likes to eat. Every "foodie" I know is pretty passionate about ingredient sourcing, how something is prepared, how it looks, smells and tastes, it's history, etc.

Would you then conclude that a blind person could not be a foodie? I find that notion absurd. How does looking at something necessarily tell you where it came from? Or how it smells or tastes? Or its history? Personally, I would be very eager to find a blind foodie because I'd expect that by losing the less pertinent sense, they would have naturally focused on developing others, that would be more germane to my interests.

Seems like the ol' bait and switch doesn't it? Are we talking about the food/wine, or the attractive woman? This leads many directions, none of which are good. I'll leave the door open for others to clarify further.

It's all part of sensual enjoyment. Wouldn't really want to lose any of the senses despite what people say about having certain senses heightened to compensate for weaknesses elsewhere.

Fair enough.

Although, I didn't mean it in the general sense but in the specific Mike Lawton sense.

I am not an attractive woman, nor have I ever been. So I'm not sure I understand.

Yes, but I was speaking to your preferences for attractive women (however that may be defined) as a heterosexual man. Other preferences are derived from other starting points.
 
She says: "What the hell does my being an attractive woman have to do with it?"

Then she adds: "Maybe I don't understand the question. In what sense?"
 
I asked my wife the same question: "would my food taste better sitting next to you if I was heterosexual or homosexual?" She told me she wouldn't be my wife if I was homosexual. I think she misunderstood the question as well.
 
This is Chris Coad's wife speaking.

Let's just say that I would not characterize the responses of the wives in this discussion as "misunderstanding the question."

Email would only compartmentalize our difficulties with attraction. I can't in good conscience recommend hiding the debate that way. These are difficult issues, but they have to be faced in the sunlight.
