I had one of these tonight and it was extremely good, but I didn't read the box any further, once I caught that phrase.

I don't think they know what "post-modern" means.

They might be baking rockist breads without knowing it.

It was really good though, way better than the typical frozen pizza. But what tends to happen is that those specialty packaged food places get too successful and then the quality drops off.

Making more than one loaf at a time is always dangerous, just like making love to more than one person at a time.

I think these have been around for a while -- I remember my Dad buying them back when I was in High School, and that would have been around '96 or so. They're fucking good though.

it's not post-modern, it's pre-modern.

― hstencil (hstencil), Sunday, 23 January 2005 07:29 (twenty-one years ago)

fuck, pre-historical even.

Post-apocalyptic.

nobody will be left to eat bread then.

I always thought of it more as an exercise in reactionary dough-twirling.

Woah, last night I was watching Iron Chef America stoned and the iron chef produced a "Deconstructed Cowboy Salad" (consisting of a pile of one kind of lettuce, a pile of another, thin slices of buffalo meat, and some amazing dressing lined up next to each other on a clear tray) and it occurred to me to wonder if there was postmodern cooking, if cooking goes through its own versions of faddish intellectual eras like other arts, etc.

Suddenly I realize that Momus would be a great Iron Chef host.

These are good pizzas. I love how it says on the box "for best taste, heat by rubbing some stones together and stick the pizza over the fire."

It's really annoying how people use the word "deconstruct" to just mean take apart.

I would totally love to watch a momus cookery show. Totally.

Dude, that Iron Chef deal has a kernel of sheer brilliance -- the hamburger as a key "text" in contemporary American culture!

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 24 January 2005 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

His reconfiguration highlights the traditional hamburger's subordination of bread -- here a representative of old-world artisanal culture -- to meat, which in contemporary society has dual connotations: gestures both toward the masculine aggression of hunting and its ~~civilized~~ counterpart in industrial butchery and production. Note how the artisanal act of breadmaking -- once a step upward in complexity and sophistication from the hunting model -- has now been once again supplanted.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 24 January 2005 19:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh wait, it was a salad, not a hamburger!

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 24 January 2005 19:40 (twenty-one years ago)

nabisco, are you saying momus is dr. atkins?

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 24 January 2005 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Where the cheese at!
