> what is the definition of "perfect food"? I kind of meant it as a figure of speech. For me natto is perfect when I have a pot of rice, don’t feel like cooking, and want something substantial with a rich flavor. So lots of food can be “perfect” under different circumstances. However if I were to pick one perfect food, I think I would pick the potato.
