Here are two new Filth-in-Foods paeans. They were composed in tribute to Sidebottom’s classic ‘Fundamentals of Microanalytical Entomology: A Practical Guide to Detecting and Identifying Filth in Foods.’ These paeans are part of an ongoing project that was introduced in mini-AIR 2004-01.
INVESTIGATOR HEATHER HEWITT:
Olsen, Sidebottom, and Knight
Endeavor to help shine a light
On what makes food dirty:
Regarding food pure’ty,
The “five second rule” isn’t right.
INVESTIGATOR DAVID WEINBERGER:
The book by Sidebottom is lunch-
Time reading for a scary bunch
Who look into their meal
With a bug-ey?d zeal
And savor its every crunch.
