But all this hypertext project doesn't seem to be of a good credit.
There  is  something about food in the 'Europe of the setting' chapter
of  Guide. Honestly, I'm much more interested in cooking than personal
habits of Ezra. That is to say, what things man eats is also part of a
culture.  The  sane conduct of a cultivated man would be not fan-like.
But  since Ezra knew much, he could be of help -- just as Greeks cited
Homer  on  all  the  subjects,  not because they were fans of him, but
because  they felt him to be of much authority, being a great learner.
