Lets start with... the finish

Edible, adj. - Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.

When was the last time you ordered something, and it turned out to look absolutely disgusting when it arrived in front of you ? What about when you learnt from the aforementioned mistake, and ordered something you knew would be eye candy, but still ended up spitting it out of disgust ??!!

Ever since we first craved for that extra piece of candy, ketchup to our sandwiches, chips to beer, or wasabi to our sushi , our taste buds have come alive just praying for a challenge with every bite. They learn from our mistakes, adapt to the changing climate and familiarize themselves with our increasingly experimental wits. Ultimately after you look past the fresh ingredients, the slow cooking, and the perfect temperature, the most important thing about any meal is the finish. If you don't feel like taking another bite, then all the factors mentioned before are inconsequential. If you come across an attempt to mask flavour with deceit such as "dining experience" and "decor", then you know you're being set up. The strongest weapon is any chef's arsenal should be the ability to leave behind the perfect aftertaste, to leave even the strictest eater hungry for more.

I vow from today to look for finish, in a journey to find gastronomical peace within me. The marriage of select ingredients and the creation of a unique flavour is holier than most things.

Waiter , I'd like some perspective please...
