And now, for something completely different:

Culinária!

Acabei agora mesmo de ver mais um dos programas de culinária com que os canais de cabo ingleses BBC Prime e people+arts me "encantam". Este foi apresentado pelo Ainsley Harriott, um homem que é um verdadeiro espectáculo a cozinhar. Só quem já o viu é que sabe exactamente a que me refiro. Qualquer comparação com as culinário-chachadas dos nossos canais é... impossível.

E, já agora, se gostam destas coisas não percam o Jamie Oliver, Naked Chef baterista, no BBC Prime, sexta-feira, às 18:00h.
"In North America the black bear was seen by [Samuel] Hearne swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale."
Darwin, Charles; "The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection" (On the origin and transitions of organic beings with peculiar habits and structure)
