I spotted this product for sale in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The label reads: “Guaranteed New York City Tap Water. As used in the kitchens of the Brooklyn Culinary Institute.”

I had never heard of the institute, so I tracked down its intriguing site, which makes it out to be a liberal-arts college for foodies, or more specifically “a multi-disciplinary organization of higher learning focused on the integration of various academic disciplines through the medium of food.”

Then I clicked on “Campus Life” and found this recipe. Hah.

(For more on tap water, bottled and otherwise, see this compilation of entertaining Coke documents I put together last year.)
