I wouldn't call it primitive just because it doesn't use laboratory glass.
And perhaps I shouldn't start thinking about brewing beer here, but my
picture of food involves destroying commensual life-forms, rather than
engaging them in the preparation!
Perhaps we should now go over to the way the Inuit prepare ptarmigan squabs
in sealskins.

Yrs (with apology to Ron & his Roman cuisine),
