of the boiled meet and the grilled one are so different? How can we 
scientifically calculate cooking time of the soft-boiled duck egg and 
spaghetti? Why cin-cin with crystal glasses filled by sparkling wine is 
not accompanied by nice canorous sound? Why does vodka usually contain 
around 40% of alcohol? Why professional barman varies the degree of
