(I'ma pass on the 550-year-old ravioli, tho'; I'm not an ambitious cook . . . or at least not that ambitious.) But, I will be exploring the channel, so thank you for that, as well.
The 200 year old French fries look amazing! I never thought to batter dip them before, but after seeing it (and battering fish, chicken, etc.) it's a big "well duh!" However, the wife won't (and I shouldn't) touch deep fried food.
