In London, go have rice porridge (sometimes called rice soup) :)
in Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown. A dimsum place should have it.
Ask for a rice porridge with beef and a raw egg in it.
The soup is hot, so the raw egg is cooked when you stir the soup,
and the soup is hence cooled down to a nice temperature.
Try it before you really decide to hate porridge. :)

We may need to improve FFS a bit and enhance it with some good features
like a versioned filesystem, cryptofs with kernel support, AFS-like
features of switching data between volumes, failover writes, etc.
