BVEvery week Geert Hoste (62) gives his own unique and ironic view of the world in ‘Dag Alles’.
They asked me to be on a cooking show on TV. No idea why. You don’t ask chef Peter Goossens to make jokes, do you? Moreover, I have been struggling with a major problem in the kitchen for some time. The dilemma of the non-stick pan. The non-stick pan is non-stick because of that layer of pfas. That comes in handy when I fry an egg for my wife in the morning. Mrs. Hoste wants her egg ‘easy over’. In Flemish style: a fried egg that is turned upside down. That always goes wrong without a non-stick pan. I have now fried so many eggs that the non-stick of my pan is worn out. And now comes the dilemma. Since there is pfas in the self-laid eggs in Antwerp, I wonder if I still need a non-stick pan? I doubt because yesterday I experienced that, despite the pfas presence in the metropolis, dog poop stubbornly sticks to the soles of my trendy sneakers. Or as I call them: my gymnastics lessons.
By the way, I understand that Peter Goossens of Hof van Cleve is hanging his non-stick pan on the hook. He’s not the only one who throws the kitchen towel into the stewpot. He follows the example of master chef Jeroen Meus who stopped at Luzine in 2014. Also serial stopper Piet Huysentruyt first stopped himself in Wortegem-Petegem. He then stopped Le Lutin Gourmand and Likoké. Piet stopped on VTM in 2012 and in 2022. And don’t blame them. Our star chefs are so loved that it becomes life-threatening!
The thing is, firebombs and grenades are thrown at businesses every day. All these cases have one thing in common: the victims have no enemies. A grenade in your restaurant is rather a sign of friendship! You better have a handful of enemies.
Even if a front door of a house catches fire, the residents never have anything to do with it. The perpetrators of all that suffering have always made a mistake of address. Those owls manage to find a sports bag with drugs among the thousands of containers in the port, but googling an address? hey. They are never mistaken when they deliver their grams of cocaine through dark porches three high in an underexposed slum at night and at dawn. The police spokesmen say about those bombers and dealers scornfully: “They are not the smartest.” But what about the police who can’t even catch those stupid perpetrators?
Fortunately, our politicians and union leaders are smart. Too smart even. That is why I suggest that in the future, instead of taking an oath, we immerse them all in a bath of pfas, so that no money sticks to their hands
