You are sitting in a world-famous Nobu Restaurant. Now for those who don't know Chef Nobu Matsuhisa is one of the world's most famous fusion chefs. This particular restaurant is on board an exclusive cruise liner. The clientelle (or whatever the present PC term for a customer/diner is) changes frequently. The menu, apparently, does not. Several of your fellow diners comment that it has become too predictable and you know what you are going to eat and why can't they change the menu and...... You tell them to get real and stop moaning. They are eating (at no cost to them) in one of the world's most famous restaurants and all they can think about is the variety of the menu. They suddenly realise how silly they must have sounded.
Next time you think there is something wrong with your meal remember somewhere in the region of 925 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition. If you are able to worry about your meal then you are not one of them. Be thankful.

Actually I find a twisted sort of comfort in the fact that even on an exclusive cruise liner one can find the menu predictable...! Thinking of the lack of inspiration I often feel in my own cooking! *LOL* (I'll have your post in mind next time I find myself eating the same dish two or three days in a row.)
ReplyDeleteso true. we need to be more aware of how blessed we all are at times.
ReplyDeleteRight On, GB! So well said. We happen to love fusion! Or anything new!
ReplyDeleteI do fusion. I often have spring rolls with my curry. Do you think that counts?
ReplyDeletePS I've checked. No-one in West Wemyss has heard of Chef Nobu. He obviously doesn't do fish and chips.
I can imagine you telling anyone to get real and stop moaning, GB. Did you really?
