            Touch of the Turandots, mercs? Have a lie down...

            Carlo Gozzi wrote the commedia dell'arte play in the 18th century, based on which F Busoni and G Puccini wrote operas, and CM von Weber wrote incidental music, a theme from which was used by P Hindemith in his Symphonic Metamorphoses...

                Do you think liquid nitrogen was employed in zapping the bacon and then pulverising into a powder, ditto the sage, or could you see flecks of sage or did you merely savour the flavour?
                I ask, because I am geared up to do this tomorrow but I only have fresh sage and do not have my chemistry set anymore! I lent it to Heston.

                  There were no signs that I can recall of flecks of anything so I suspect pulverisation. That said, the bread made its way to my gob with such speed that I was unable to inspect it thoroughly!!

                  Must start thinking about U (not that I'm not always thinking about U Anna )... been rather busy here! Plus going out in an hour or so..
