Cooking is all relative...
Okay, this is so geeky that your slide rule is liable to pop out of your pocket protector.
When esteemed scientist Albert Einstein visited the city of Catalonia, Spain in 1923, local scientists quickly established a few unified theories:
1) Einstein might be hungry.
2) It might be fun to feed him.
3) Generally speaking, it had to be special, relative to other meals he might have had recently.
The menu they created that night has been discovered by Spanish physicists Emma Sallent and Antoni Roca, who are planning to recreate it, according to AFP. One of the eight courses they've mentioned?:
Platonic Man according to Diogenes, a fourth century BC Greek philosopher considered a founder of cynicism, with Michelson sauce after German optics expert Albert Michelson.The Latin name of the dish was Homo platonicus secundum Diogenem cum jure Michelsoniense and comprised a chicken feast in response to Plato having defined man as a two-legged animal without feathers.
Those wacky scientists, hope they served it with a nice salad of "field equations of Maxwell" greens.
Any other suggestions for his menu? Sharpen up those pencils!
