That sounds ways to complicated for me. I'm something like
cooking-illiterate and just want some food that works out of the box
like pizza does. If you need lots of special tools or knowledge to eat
instant noodles they are just not yet ready for Joe Sixpack.

Speaking of sixpacks: Is Phobuntu compatible with German beer? I've been
told that for some food, especially french one, you are expected to have
wine. I've never managed to open wine. I guess you need some special
tools for it, too.

That seems to be a problem with most kinds of food. After a few days I'm
having lots of bugs in my pizza too. At the pizza service they told me
that's normal and I have to use some kind of f-word if I want to keep a
pizza for more than a few hours. IMHO that's really a bad attitude and
it's one reason I'd like to switch to noodles as I've been told that you
can keep instant noodles for month without using the f-word.

I don't understand why things always are that difficult when it is about
food. Why can't food be as easy to use as a car: You just buy it, sit in
and drive until it's empty and you have to get a new one. You don't
even have to put the old cars in a rubbish bin or something, just leave
it on the street and some people will take care about it. I really think
that's the way things should work in 21th century
