Is the sort of bullshit that someone who doesn't realised he's been robbed blind by some silly frenchman with would say.
Are you somehow suggesting that he didn't really enjoy the meal? It was obviously worth it to him, so how was he robbed blind?

It couldn't have been enjoyable! It was too expensive!

Okay, for starters, food can be so exquisitely ecstatic that it makes you forget who you are and where you've been besides the paradisical moment of you and that mouthful.
But then there is a point at which you must say IT'S FUCKING FOOD. IT IS NUTRIENTS YOUR BODY REQUIRES MADE MORE THAN PALATABLE BY BIOLOGICAL TRICKERY.
Clever combinations of ingredients in conjunction with swanky serving methods may, in appropriate proportions, enhance the experience of dining to a divine degree, however, excessive emphasis on this end can obviously obfuscate the point that food is for eating, not making love to.
Cynicism aside (time for good-hearted humour), sounds like you really enjoyed yourself RBJ, hope the whole experience doesn't make your next bowl of supermarket ravioli taste like crap.

Joking aside, this stuff actually looks fascinating and had I not scorched my palate into submission with years of junk food abuse i'd definitely go for it given the chance. I think you have to build up to this kind of thing though. There's a few steps between "pasta and some red pesto" and being ready to accept little bacon washing lines and skewers with individual coated peanuts.

This might explain why women would rather have chocolate to shagging then.
The presentation of the food are impressive, kind of arty. If I can't recognize it however, ..such as in sushi:eww: ..I prefer to just dig into a meat and veg plate. Sadly scottish cuisine consists of boiling the flavour out, frying, pickling and several hours of dodgey digestion.

Really? I must be doing it wrong :confused:

He said women, dear.

He said shagging, love.
Wait...
¬¬
On a side note: I for one was tempted by RBJ's description of the whole event and the pics really helped. True, minuscule portions, but sometimes, for some, food can be an experience...ah...
oh shi...

Why not shagging AND chocolate?

They don't create the creamy centres like that, man.
