 'ello well hi. i'm not very new, i discovered the site after its mention in Gastronomica a few months back, but i never got around to registering until now. never really had anything to say. anyway, i'm registered now. whoopee. i'm a student at reed college in Portland, studying the very non-culinary field of Linguistics. I've recently fallen into research about the etymology of food terms and such. for instance, did you know that ginger has been used in food for so long that linguists believe the common lexical root word traces back to proto-austronesian? that means thousands upon thousands of years. proto-austronesian is considered the common root of most all asian and oceanic languages. just to give you a mental picture, the austronesian language family stretches from the caucus mountains in the north to the polynesian islands in the east and the middle east to the west. oh and madagascar. yeah.... and i like to cook. peace markovitch
