Foodie thread

Sometimes I just like eating refried beans out of the can.

 

Does this mean I should just give up on fine dining?

 

Sometimes I will blow $100 on a meal, and I just wonder...is my palate too unrefined to get the most out of it? I mean it tastes good, and usually I like the ambiance, but does the fact that I many nights I just like spaghetti with heaps of salty red sauce and Kraft parmesean cheese mean that I am unfit to eat at the city's finer establishments (not the snobbiest places, but the foodiest places...)??

If you can't tell the difference, why pay more?

 

If you CAN tell the difference but you mostly prefer junk, what does that say about you?

That I'm cheap & lazy (or else just really hungry)

That makes sense to me. Eating is both utilitarian and luxurious. We cannot afford (both monetarily and temporally) to eat luxuriously all the time.

food can mainly be a function of how hungry you are. sometime top ramen tastes the best, especially when you're really hungry and craving salt.

 

other times it is the mouth of your lover that your crave the most.

The Dahmer Lover's Cookbook has some good recipes for mouth.

I do have to give Gary props on his epicurian culinary taste. From now on, Gary, you shouldn't post anything unless it has to do with fine cuisine.

I spent a month in France last year. A whole month of good wines, cheeses, pates, breads and crossants, not to mention going out every night to nice resturants. I was starting to get tired and not appreciating the good food. By the end of the trip, McD's was looking very appealing. I think it comes down to if you don't know how bad food can get, then you really won't be able to appreciate how good it can get.
