You know, I used to think I was a foodie, and then my wife went to culinary school and basically explained to me that I was just a guy that likes to eat.
America knows nothing of food, love, or art.
In America we eat, collectively, with a glum urge for food to fill us. We are ignorant of flavour. We are as a nation taste-blind.
I am spoiled, it's true. I don't even know how to use that thing in the kitchen with the burners.
A potato is a poor thing, poorly treated. More often than not it is cooked in so unthinking and ignorant a manner as to make one feel that it has never before been encountered in the kitchen.
I don't cook. I don't know anything about food. I've never reviewed a restaurant.
I hate chickpeas. I like hummus but I ate that before I realised it was made out of chickpeas.
The Kobe craze really annoyed me. Most of the practitioners had no real understanding of the product and were abusing it and exploiting it in terrible and ridiculous ways. Kobe beef should not be used in a hamburger. It's completely pointless.
We eat food all the time and don't really understand what goes into something like bread.
