What is the most delicious food you have ever eaten in your life?
The beautiful dish at El Bulli, Spain? (Despite its only 45 seats, with its wonderful cuisine, this restaurant receives 2 millions reservation phone calls from people around the world every year!)
Or other cuisine of the 3 star Michelin restaurants?
Even though, there are many luxurious restaurants in the world, some of you probably say the junk food you had at high school’s cafeteria is the best. I am sure you know that 3 star Michelin restaurants have better ingredients and techniques, yet, the taste of junk food you had at school tastes way better than that of Michelin Star restaurants. Why? Because the junk food reminds you of your good old days back then.
Why the same food tastes even more delicious when we have it at the beach or beautiful park. Why we love picnic?
When we eat delicious food, we feel so happy.
Nobody is angry when they eat delicious food.
I am exploring the feelings of eating delicious food: why we feel happy when eating and where the sense of delicious comes from.
Only your tongue involves? No. The five senses do. We establish the feeling of delicious in our brain together with our dining experience. Who we ate with and what we felt in the past are very important. Because our brain creates delicious feeling from dining experience, we stock in there. That’s why different people find the taste of the same cuisine differently.
Therefore, having rich dining experience is very important, and it does not necessarily have to be expensive dish. Sometimes, our dining memory with our family during childhood makes us very happy.
Let’s have rich dining experience!
