In many cultures, 60 of anything marks a celebration. For example if you have been married for 60 years then that is your <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wedding_anniversary\">diamond jubilee <\/a>and everybody has to give you diamonds!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><strong>absolutely vocational:<\/strong> Firstly we go to the closing event of a European project, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.i-radio-school.eu\/denmark\/lydmur.html\">Brydlydmuren<\/a>, (break the sound barrier)\u00a0all about using sound in vocational education. Students had done all sorts of sound-related work including a collaborative project with a university in Turkey. This final event took place in a large hall in the city of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitaarhus.com\/international\/en-gb\/menu\/turist\/turist-maalgruppe-forside.htm\">Aarhus<\/a>\u00a0and included displays and experiences such as a blind restaurant, which is where you eat in complete darkness so that your other senses come to the fore. One of the events was a Skype video conference with the Turkish university.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0cm 0cm 10pt;\"><strong>absolutely culinary:<\/strong> I attended a chat show featuring one of Britain\u2019s celebrity chefs, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jesse_Dunford_Wood\">Jessie Dunford Wood<\/a>. This was another of the events offered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.languagelab.com\">Language Lab<\/a>, the online language school based in <a href=\"http:\/\/secondlife.com\">Second Life<\/a>. One of the attractions of going to these events is that you can participate by asking questions yourself. So what comes to mind when you hear the phrase British food? Would you go to a British restaurant for a special treat?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"0cm 0cm 10pt;\">In the second extract from the Jessie Dunford Wood session we hear about the difference between a chef and a cook and why the athletes had to bring their own food to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalarchives.gov.uk\/news\/stories\/37.htm\">London Olympics in 1948<\/a>. In the podcast I promised you could see a memo written at the time by British civil servants who were checking on how the different national teams were coping with their British food rations.\u00a0\u00a0One I particularly liked was about the Mexican team. The civil servants noted that\u00a0&#8216;the habit of regarding food as a precious commodity was foreign&#8217; to the Mexican.
