A news item from the BBC suggest that a German woman is now editing the Michelin guide.

When you read this you won't believe it either. We know from the article that an English person was involved with the red edition of the Michelin guide until recently. This was enough of a shock to the system, but that someone involved being neither French nor male ends a distinguished and historic line of commentary on French cuisine.
There are great changes in the world and I guess most of us will simply have to go with the flow in a similar fashion I guess most of us will have to accept all of the changes that are occurring in the world simply because we live in it.
Were this not the case I wonder whether we would still be as shocked and/or as interested in such matters. After all if we are a colony on Mars or a colony on the moon would we care about what was happening back on Earth? I suppose not.
Still I wonder if we can maintain some standards while we live here - no offence meant to the person who obtained a position, but tradition is tradition.
