Having eaten at a few Michelin three star restaurants, I have come to realize that flavor incompatibilities are all in your head. Seafood flavored ice cream doesn't sound too good, but maybe it is, if you aren't thinking about where the flavors originate. Also, what tastes good is just, like, your opinion man.
- empath75 10y agoBefore eating at a Michelin star restaurant, I'd have suggested sea urchin, raw beef and meringue as an incompatible triad.
- wheat7420 10y agoSo you thought they would taste good paired but terrible with all three?
- tptacek 10y agoSquid ink ice cream is a thing, isn't it?
- archagon 10y agoI think flavor in general is very contextual. I routinely enjoy funky, fermented, strong-tasting foods that in a blind tasting with novice participants could probably be mistaken for garbage. As long as I have "culinary permission" to enjoy a food, it's unlikely that I'll find it disguisting, almost regardless of what the ingredients are!
- eliasbagley 10y agoI like your use of "culinary permission", as I'm the same say. If someone tells me a food is safe to eat, I'll give it a chance regardless of how strange it seems.
- joseph 10y agoYeah, and a nice presentation goes a long way towards removing the context you normally put around a particular food. If something looks appealing, you're more likely to try it, and then you discover flavors you never thought to combine.
