"Nor is it a case of good against evil, as you so firmly believe. Your mental picture of glaring white and of unrelieved black is not a true picture. Neither absolute evil nor absolute good do or can exist." -- Mentor of Arisia #Lensman #DocSmith #ScienceFiction #SciFi #SpaceOpera #Manichaeism #FalseDichotomy #Quote

@OSCrane The incomparable E. E. "Doc" Smith spent a number of pages on alien food. As in "What on this table of alien food chemistry, mostly copper sulphate, what can we eat?" I forget exactly which books, but several IIRR. Some fish from a copper sulphate sea were apparently OK. Richard Seaton could detect wholesome food by tasting. Comes back as I think about it!
