Brillat-Savarin
Brillat-Savarin has been mentioned twice in Girl Genius, though he(?) is yet to make an on-screen appearance:
- By the resident Chef (Taki) of Master Payne's Circus of Adventure. In the context of the page ✣ in question, the two would seem to be a culinary rivals, but as with so much of the world of food-preparation research (Sparky or otherwise), you don't always want to know what goes in the knockwurst.
- Conversely, at the conclusion ✣ of Krosp and Norvill's Incredible Journey! ✣ Savarin is more reverently referenced by an unnamed chef working in the kitchens in the Wulfenbach research complex which surrounds the time-frozen Mechanicsburg.
A footnote near the end of Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess explains that Brillat-Savarin was devoured by a rather confused monster who had read his books and decided that he wanted to be Brillat-Savarin, so the chances of him making an appearance are slim to none.[1]
Possibly relevant outside information[]
Over here in our reality, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin was a lawyer and politician in addition to being an epicure, gastronome and violinist. His most famous book, mixing science with cooking, is still published even today.
