He cooked steak over fire. I cook steak over fire.

I'm just glad I don't have to hunt every day.

Fine cooking is a combination of simple things. You meld together a sequence of simple tasks that result in a complex recipe, but we still do the basics of cooking that our "caveman" ancestors did. When the simple things become unnecessarily complex, it prevents us from creating a good recipe. We get so caught up in the unnecessarily complex details that we lose site of the goal.

Food production is complicated because of scale. But food itself hasn't changed much in centuries. The only real difference is that all the world's spices are available to common folk in Nowhere, TX.

Not sure about that. i just need to twist a know in my kitchen and i get easy controllable heat. I can go down to the supermarket and buy a steak rather than having to go out and hunt and butcher it.

Not me I'm on paleo diet.
