Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
In 1996, I did a post graduate course through the University of Adelaide, Australia.
My thesis was entitled 'Examine the validity how Gastronomy, (as a practice), has been presented as a middle path reconciling health and pleasure and, to highlight both contemporary and earlier writers on Gastronomy'. One day I may transcibe it here!
His is a very interesting perspective, and I would encourage students of Gastronomy and the Culinary Arts to get a copy of Brillat-Savarin's 'Physiologie du Gout'.
