Lactose Intolerant Foods

Philosophers are fabled to be indifferent to food. According to Norman Malcolm, Ludwig Wittgenstein “didn’t care what he ate as long as it was always the same.” He was rumoured to be a bread, cheese and cream buns man. Perhaps he had too much of the free July Viennese Rathaus concerts with their pavilions of international foods. Maybe he preferred the dependable fare of the Lusthaus Vienna in the Freudenau with writers such as Adalbert Stifter, Arthur Schnitzler and Felix Salten.

There are conflicting accounts as to what they were. Some claim he forbad the eating of animals, which were of service to man. Others, that he was a vegetarian. He should have tried his home island’s Aeizoia in Manolates with its lacto and Vegan-friendly organic Greek food with a salad and juice bar.
