I recently had the delightful experience of dipping into a recipe book which includes instructions for surviving a cobalt bomb.

It has 380 pages, starting on page 5. Give me a number between 5 and 380, and I will give you a quote from that page.

Now place the Bologna in a pan with enough boiling water to nicely cover it. Add seven level teaspoons of honey. If you have no honey, add seven level teaspoons of sugar.

... I am deeply suspicious of this recipe.

(How does van Leeuwenhoek come into it? I don't see how anyone could cook microbes...)

He invented the following recipe and it became the sensation of the time. [Recipe for fish follows.) Make a white sauce flavored with mushrooms. Today simply take one can of Campbell's mushroom soup...

On the contrary, microbes play an important role in the preparation of many foods! Dairy products. Probiotic supplements. Fermented foods like sauerkraut and salami. Alcohol.

That is a point! (I had the image of frying one in a microscopic pan, since I was trying to figure out how to connect the fellow to the bologna...)
