Food disappoints me easily.
I don't have a sophisticated palate. My food vocabulary is limited since I only use three adjectives to describe taste: bad, alright, and good. Anything else would be overkill.
So it's hard for me to grasp the concept of food so good it's a revelation. Whenever anybody recommends a "great" restaurant to me, I take it with a grain of salt. The number of times I've walked out of a recommended joint feeling ambivalent is too many.
Do I have faulty taste buds or unrealistically high standards?
Maybe delicious cuisine is just that rare.
