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.
