Reply #9: I love TED lectures in general [View All]

and the spaghetti sauce lecture was no exception.

I went all through my childhood hating mustard. Then in the 70s, when the foodie thing started to take off, I chanced upon a small bottle of brown, grainy German mustard. What a revelation! I discovered a whole new world out there!

The problem wasn't that I hated mustard, the problem was that I hated the finely milled, yellow glop the two mustard companies in the US had been producing during my childhood.

Asking the right question is always important when you want answers to a problem. The spaghetti lecture points that out perfectly.
