Tyrant Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 The visual aspect, both colour and presentation, has a bigger effect on the dining experience. Those who are put off oysters or lambs liver or grilled crickets by texture alone are sacrificing the primary consideration for secondary ones. I had moneky's brains once. It was presented in this wee criss cross pastry job. It was fucking shite. It looked grey, unappealing and slithery. It was indeed slithery but I hated it because it tasted disgusting. The fact that it didn't look too appetising did not affect my taste experience. The texture didn't matter by the time it slipped down the back of my throat. It's magic when you get a good surprise and superb taste comes from something visually odd or undefinable. Sucking the fat and gristle off chickens feet in Chinatown in Melbourne wasn't visually appealing but by fuck it tasted fine. Aye and all that being said... the fact about texture remains... It's a major part of the eating experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
