All hail Fergus!
It occurs to us here at The Malcontent Test Kitchen that we should have a Wednesday Food component, just like the newspapers. (Plus, The Malcontent knows from food.)
So, let it be known that Fergus Henderson remains one of The Malcontent's inspirations regarding food. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
Why Fergus Henderson? Not just for his straight-forward approach to cooking and his willingness to use every bit, but also because he speaks so highly of lunch ("Lunch should be joy unbounding"), which, as anyone who looks at my profile will know, is among my obsessions.
Head cheese, anyone? I mean, it's good enough for Mario.

Greetings Malcontent. Allow me to recommend to you and your illustrious readers Calvin W. Schwabe's "Unmentionable Cuisine" published by the University of Virginia press. It is entertaining, instructive and, at least to some degree, shares Mr. Henderson's "use-every-bit" philosophy.
Thanks, Anon. I own a copy of Mr. Schwabe's book, and it is a very interesting and enjoyable read. Less of a cookbook than Mr. Henderson's book, but a welcome addition to any curious cook's bookshelf. (As is, now that I think of it, The Curious Cook by Harold McGee.)
