Some of my favorite experiences were excellent meals. I hate the idea that fine dining is only for the immoral rich who are happy to conspicuously consume their way through an overpriced meal. A great meal can be as eminently rewarding as any great sensory experience and equally worth the price. If you don't see anything wrong with buying a hotel room to hear a concert from a favorite band in a distant city, or buying a plane ticket to fly somewhere with an incredible view, then there's equally nothing wrong with every now and then splurging on an amazing meal.
