Thank you. It's a lot of fun going through the little tidbits and learning more about them.
These notes are something I wouldn't have been able to do if it were an official translation, so I'm glad I have this opportunity.

Thank you for the food notes. You even found the ostrich thing in an old paper, wow.

The ostrich thing was incredibly difficult to find. Chef Jacques Maximin was known for so many other things, especially in revolutionising the artistry of French cuisine, so many online articles about him don't even touch on his learning experiences before becoming a chef.
Within Maximin's accomplished life, cooking ostrich in Africa seems like an unimportant footnote. But I wanted to make sure the Maximin that Morel was referring to is the same famous Chef Maximin.
