Ghyll:Speedish Chefs

"Non-chefs think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is Bindlet Ball." –Wilhelmina Corinne Bardway

Great art is a balance of the aesthetic, the practical and the mind of the observer. Great food is much the same. Speedish Chefs seek to achieve the perfect confluence of the moment, the mind and the palate. Of course this often means that the Speedish Chef must be ready to strike at the precise moment to achieve the perfect dining experience.

The talent it takes to achieve the absolute perfect time, place and diners is epitomized in the recipe for Bofu which can change even during the preparation of the dish should someone take a bathroom break between the time the dish is begun and completed.

While Chefery of the non-Speedish variety is plentiful one has to ask if sating hunger is really worth dining at The Cadaver or whether it is really more preferable to enjoy one's meal. Time can be a factor. It is difficult to plan around a meal that can take hours to allow for the precise alignment of Pinky and Perky or could just a likely be a seemingly rushed affair with whirlwind courses that leaves you feeling a-tingle with the experience.

It takes many years to learn the art of being a Speedish Chef. The lessons cover multiple disciplines including Theoalchemy, Ponce Gardening and Archaic Languages. For this reason many Chefs are employed at the Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge as both fact finders and cafeteria workers.

"The alimentary canal is thirty-two feet long. You control only the first nanit of it. Control it well." –Briorus Jan-Vanderschusen
