The Food Geek recently posted a link to song written about the Maillard Reaction, the chemical process that occurs in toasted bread, seared meats, etc. Written by Professor Ted Labuza, the 19-verse ditty is to be sung to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey." The song is really just a jumping off point for the rest of the Food Geek post, which points out that there's actually an International Maillard Reaction Society and an International Symposium on the Maillard Reaction. Those of you that are fans of songs like this should also appreciate the music of food toxicologist Carl K. Winter. On the right is Louis Camille Maillard, the chemist for whom the reaction is named.
