In Aid of Scientific Food Pleasure.

For those of a more scientific bent, here is The Periodic Table of Dessert. Now you have the basics of all good eatings.

Hey, it's Zarf! That was a friend of mine who made that. I was gonna order one for my wall, but cafepress.com tried to do evil things (namely, their web page said THIS IS SECURE in big letters without actually enabling SSL).

I'm reminded of a similar effort that was published in Analog
(http://www.analogsf.com) a long time ago, "The Periodic Table of
the Aliments", with all sorts of different types of food, not
just desserts. For example, Hf was "Half- and-half" (although I
don't know if that's a dessert or not).

I enjoyed the link to the Tom Lehrer stuff that is linked to from
the website you indicated; I have his CD set, "The Remains of Tom
Lehrer", and recommend it to others.
