Over at Sylvia's place, she has mentioned in her comments about how she believes that we eat with our eyes.
I am sure that most, if not all, of us would agree. However, it reminded me of a story from the long, long ago.
My sister, The Director, was going out with a sophisticated and well-known man about town. But he was a plain eater. In a restaurant one night, his steak came decorated with capsicum to look like a cockscomb as well as some other culinary artistry.
Man about town called the waiter back and said:
My compliments to the chef, but please get him to remove the guck.
Off went the waiter who was back rather promptly with the untouched plate:
Compliments of the chef, sir, but he wishes to say he believes we eat with our eyes.
Man about town replied:
Compliments to the chef, and tell him he's cooking for Helen Keller.
