Im sitting here this morning with a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain estate coffee. Its nice. Its smooth. But Im not sure if I like it more than the Dunkin Donuts coffee I get in giant bags at Costco.
This has often been my experience when I get to try some food or drink thats super duper rare, expensive, or hard to get.
Black truffle is kind of fungusy and funky, certainly not something Id go out of my way for. Actually, its something Id prefer not to have shaved over my pasta.
Expensive wine tastes remarkably like cheap wine.
Toro tuna is nice but I wouldnt pay those prices for it.
Niman Ranch all-natural organic lambgive me a break, its a lamb chop.
This sort of underwhelming experience has happened often enough that I sometimes wonder if Im missing taste buds or if some foods are just over hyped..
