Haha, thank you! I was genuinely surprised to get this username, but I have used it before, so I'm kind of glad. It feels cozy.
I found this forum through a Duckduckgo search, but came across links pointing this way on Reddit at the same time. It looked like the most active Epicurean forum, at a glance.
(Also, argh, now I'm thinking of things I wanted to add or clarify in the above post, but don't have the time or attention at the moment. Ah, well, suffice it so say I can nerd out more.)
