analogy Surely I am not suggesting throwing hard earned sov’s at some spanner monkey who might bodge the job? Quite right - it is all to easy to end up with some back-street, untrained, cowboy messing things up. At the piano is Colin Sell. cargo ship

analogy It might help to think of it separating an egg - the shell is the song containing the words, or yolk, and the tune, or white. The yolk can be combined with milk, sugar, and flour to make custard, a complete change of combination but still food. While the white is thrown away, although this is waste and can be used to make light fluffy soufflé - try it with grated fresh parmesan, if you cannot get fresh parmesan a hard cheddar will do. Two meals that are very different, even though they come from the same shell. But what about salmonella poisoning? Well every egg based meal carries the risk of being spoiled by a stomach-turning bowl-exploding little germ - there is Colin Sell at the piano. cooking pot
analogy A song is comprised of two elemental components - the tune and the words. The obvious and simplest analogy would be a cooking pot or saucepan containing food in the process of being cooked. The contents are like the words, and these are contained within the pan much in the same way the tune carries the words. Just as there are many varieties of tune, so there are an infinite variety of pots and pans and each type can contain all manner of different foodstuffs, or words. These can vary from simple fare, such as Baked Beans or soup, through to quite complex dishes like stews or Coq au Vin, and they can be cooked (or sung) in two different ways - one involves the boiling water of the classical style, the other the hot fat of a more contemporary interpretation. However, beware for the latter has its incipient dangers. I can sense you are keen to hear more, so let’s move on to Health and Safety aspects. As you are no doubt thinking, isn’t there some precaution we can take in the event of one of these pots catching fire? Quite right - as every safety conscious cook knows it is vital on these occasions to keep handy a huge wet blanket. At the piano is Colin Sell. home | show |
