Professor Smith, a lone ranger of academia, peers through a mask that camouflages his true identity from the forces of evil. A scholar, socio - kinetic sculptor, and proverbial photo- documentor, he creates his favorite meal in a modern and well equipped laboratory on the campus of a renowned Canadian university. His fashionably academic attire is complemented by an uncharacteristic suntanned complexion.
In the professor's impeccable lab the preparation of his favorite meal - Campbell's vegetable soup - begins with a botulism preventive sterilizing of utensils. As he scans the list of ingredients on the label, his body recalls each satisfying flavor - mixed vegetables, calcium caseinate, hydrolyzed plant protein. Smith scrutinizes the label , reassuringly finding no change in the cooking directions. He draws attention to his resemblance in voice and manner to the television chef Julia Child, and effortlessly demonstrates each phase of cooking on a state-of-the-art hotplate. After an approving taste check he grasps the saucepan handle with a violinist's grip, the pot just below the chin, and enthusiastically eats spoonfuls of the soup directly from the pot.
Smith's file substantiates his reputation as a gourmand. In the seclusion of his laboratory the professor has prepared pan-heated Manischewitz gefilte fish, hot Portuguese sandwiches, Chef Boyardi ravioli, and Camp's liquid coffee. His formulas for these preparations have not been published.
