Well said Niccolo.
I will say on record that I rarely have ever responded to inflammatory posts, 
but I am compelled to say two things in response to the original posting on 
this topic.

First, Once you start cooking feasts yourself, you'll come to appreciate how 
easy it is for things to go wrong.

Secondly, No matter how bad a feast goes, it is only courtesy to find out 
what the cook thought of it before you trash their work publicly. 

It is one thing to discuss what went wrong, it's another to explain away what 
you would have done to save the feast. Hind site is 20/20, especially when 
you're not the dear in the headlights.

Sorry, that was three.
