It was 2 AM in the morning and I was fast asleep when the phone rang.
         It was Dr. Max Lake calling me from Australia!
 Later I learned  from Jill Norman  that this legendary literary food figure
was famous for making these middle of the night phone calls to others around the Earth.
 It was flattering that he should include me in the group that he wanted to personally talk with.
His book here " TASTE " is directed to other advanced thinkers and is a merging of the
latest ideas from the laboratories of PHD food chemists mixed with PHD interpreters of man's
highest evolutionary promise.  The writing is an odd unusual sort of lengthly spiritual essay on man
and where his nose and palette might be taking him.
     But only if he learns how* to participate.
