Personally i believe in the art of making a good meal, it's not where you eat it or how you eat it. Some people even make a problem of who's eating it. Food is about fucking with your senses, it's basically an art. You know how music or pictures stimulate you in a way which inspires you? Well food is like that, with the added benefit of it gives you life, mind blowing isn't it? That the simple fact that food gives life.
I don't think food is something crafted to fit a market need, it has to have history, meaning and a message. Same way you'd see a painting and a poster. Both are images, but the effort of creating the latter creates it an art.
Born out of the gritty inner city culture, diners are a staple classic.
So here to share and to give an example of how food consumption became a cultural art.

Meal is a religion, an interest followed with great devotion which is beliefs in superhuman controlling power. Having a meal is a great deal activity in pursuing what you believe, related with all those kind of a religious believer when he/she doing its own devotional practice. So with having meal together, related with a collective worship or devotion which is happening in a certain domain. With all these comparability, it comes to my opinion that is crucial to enjoying a meal with particular people with similarity in their passion and interest. Nevertheless, in this case, domain is not an absolute necessity, although we still have to make some adjustment to meet the need of creating a supporting environment. Indeed, preparing and meal and having a meal have a mutual expression, as a musician and the fans in music concert.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I have a different opinion with you regarding crafting food for a particular market. Food is an obtainable commodity of art, certain people like certain food and it certainly unwise to prepare a spicy meal in the midst of people who never have eaten chili in their entire life.
Good topic, indeed....
