>win a dégustation tasting menu at a Michelin star restaurant>get to try all the expensive and weird foods I never did before>foie gras, caviar, tartare, all manner of weird spherified sauces and exotic vegetables and curated dishes>they all range from okay to badI want some Greek salad and roasted pork now.
>>21780587Did you have foie gras in terrine or a sauteed piece? The former is basically glorified butter but the latter is top tier stuff
>>21780587It is because you ate for free. If you had paid a few hundred bucks, your own brain would have gaslighted you into thinking you had an enlightening experience to cope with the money you lost.
>>21780587>tranime poster has childlike palate and cannot appreciate real cultureMany such cases. You will never be a woman by the way.
>>21780590They had both. A cold rectangular pâté with a cured quail yolk and some thin slices of something vegetable, and a grilled piece, that felt like eating a warm pimple.
>>21780587>Michelin star restaurantused to be the undisputed gold standard in fine dining, but its influence has definitely shifted over timeit’s still idolized by dimwits and poors
>>21780593But I do have an extensive palette, I cook real meals daily and like all the icky food manchildren avoid. I just felt that this stuff was not worth the price and was overhyped.Except caviar, I like it, but it isn't meant to be exclusive or rare, fish roe is cheap and you can get tins of it from Russia.
>palettethe absolute state
>>21780612It makes more sense if you think about it.
>>21780587Sorry, but if you rank all of the new items as okay to bad, then yes something may be wrong with you and your palate or you forgot to do a wine pairing, lol
>>21780597Your taste buds are fried, sad
>>21780636They were okay, just nothing I would order again instead of more conventional dishes, even if the price was the same.
>>21780587No, those items you need to have an appreciation for the flavors. Hard to explain. Its like smoking weed the first time and not understanding what youre supposed to be experiencing.
