rolig commented on the word whipped cream
". . . Do you like cooking, Phil?" "Not really.
I can't abide its cruelty."
"Cruelty, Phil?" "Right—you don't merely
Pop corns, you beat eggs, wilfully
Stone cherries, whip cream, chop and skewer,
Are happier when cheese is bluer—
And then there's batter, rack of lamb,
And squash and mace. . . ad nauseam.
No. Violence and exploitation
Of co-comestibles would be
A sin. My conscience troubles me
With delicate denunciation:
Far better not to cook, and starve
In purity, than baste and carve."
– Vikram Seth, The Golden Gate, Ch. 8, stanza 12
