I'm fine with experiments with food, or i wouldn't be playing with 
strange old cookbooks ;-)

What we ate at Sanford in Milwaukee were small servings on carefully 
selected plates and "garnishes" were an integral part of the dish 
(not something added to fill up the plate or dress up otherwise dull 
food). No foams, although i've been curious to eat a meal that 
incorporates them so i can have the actual experience

I've read that Grant Achatz, of Alinea in Chicago, has used food 
stuffs as inks and had a computer printer specially designed to 
utilize them to print into edible paper. Now that is a subtlety, very 
subtle.
