DESENSITIZED CHIC: Just ate a wine bar brownie that was like a brick made out of sea salt covered in a whiskey-flavored gelato. This wasnt exactly a positive experience. Fortunately it was stale so I got it for free. But the weird and multiple tastes that linger in my mouth as I type this make me wonder what our modern notion of food is coming to. Why does gourmet mean something is overly sweet or covered with bacon or specialty salt? It is like nouvelle cuisine designed to appeal to the Borgias; food meant to wake up the most jaded pallettes imaginable. I wonder what modern humans will consider delicious in another five, ten years? Ukrainian fetal muskrat braised with reduction de Jolly Rancher?
