n. The theories and experimental methodologies of physics applied to food, cooking, and eating.

Spence and his peers have, through a line of scientific inquiry that is informally referred to as gastrophysics, studied in minute detail how we experience food and drink. Who we eat with; how food is arranged and described; the colour, texture and weight of plates and cutlery; background noise — all these things affect taste.

Until recently, McGee said, scientific focus on cooking was always on safety, hygiene, and industrial manufacturing (such as how to can clams so they don't spoil).
Today, the study of gastrophysics draws from psychology, culture, food structuring, and quantum chemistry, among other disciplines.

Although hydrodynamic and radiative processes are expected to play im-portant roles around collapsed objects and may bias the galaxy distributionrelative to the mass (gastrophysics regime in Fig. 1), a global role in obscuringthe early universe uctuations by late time generation on large scales nowseems unlikely.
