But the cookbook record proves that the haute cuisine codified early in this century by Escoffier barely goes back to Napoleon's time.

I was more into the redneck Midwest music bands more than anything else.

Racism does not have a good track record. It's been tried out for a long time and you'd think by now we'd want to put an end to it instead of putting it under new management.
