Know Your Enemy

"I've never been much of a fan of tomato paste as a base for pasta sauce. It tends to remind me of the heavy, wet red gravy served at suburban Mama Mia! Free Giant Garlic Bread! Meatballs As Big As Your Head! All You Can Eat Calamari! Half Price Pitchers On Mondays! Try Our Zucchini Poppers! Famous Tiramisu! Italian Restaurant! I cannot abide restaurants of this type. They debase our palates and insult our ancestors with watery matter piled in mountainous heaps and buried under granulated Kraft Foods 'Parmesan.' Screw this school lunch bullshit and get it the fuck away from me. Tomato paste is where that debasement and insult starts."

Steve Albini turns out to be as excellent and abrasive a food writer as he is a musician.
