B. Toklas Cookbook
We hope all issues of Dear Sir,
are edible. But especially this one. Where taste is less of a side
concern, more of the main treat. Larder than life, vincent man-go,
honey pie, prune face, peach fuzz, traffic jam, food is enjoyed as much
on the tip of our tongues as the base of our buds, whisked, zested and
crimped into the language we write, speak, in hand, in mouth. And
beyond. Taste is wired into the memory (one need only mention a certain
madeleine soaked in tea). Issue 12 is dedicated as much to the ghosts
of recollections, the emotions summoned via the palate, as the
immediacy of a Charlotte Cream, and then, the lines between, breaking,
dashing, combining, cracking.
The great battles; the doomed love affairs. Equally worthy of the
sonnet, the found poem (Matthew through Matthew), the ode or elegy is a
single strawberry. As
Shakespeare, the original coiner of puns, wrote in Henry V, "I would give all my fame
for a pot of ale." Bon appetit.
