He looks at Japan's Yoshihiro Narisawa, who recently demonstrated a method of using sawdust broth, twigs and wood strips to cook venison. He looks at the young Spanish prodigy Andoni Luis Aduriz, who has come up with a limestone slurry with which to gel-coat his vegetables.

Historians don't know all the dishes the Pilgrims served in the first Thanksgiving feast, but primary documents indicate that pilgrims cooked with fowl and venison - and it's not unlikely that some of that meat found its way between sheets of dough at some point.
