I'm common as muck and spent £150 to try a Michelin star restaurant
Quick story - I used to talk to a guy that worked in my building quite a lot about the food we ate. He told me that growing up he absolutely hated food. When he went to university his housemates decided to go to a Michelin starred restaurant and invited him. After a lot of turning them down (because &quot;what&#x27;s the point, food is grossly overpriced, I don&#x27;t care for it,&quot; etc etc), he finally agreed. He said &quot;coming home that night I realised my mother was a terrible, terrible, <i>terrible</i> cook.&quot; From then on it was like a whole new world opened up to him...<p>I always loved that. A) it&#x27;s funny how our past experiences can completely (and sometimes incorrectly) shape our perceptions of the now. B) food can be such a wonderful thing - the smallest thing can make you so absolutely happy. And when someone just <i>nails it</i> (simple or not!), it really is quite the experience.
