Damien's Manifesto

Eating and drinking involves all of the senses . Any thoughts concerning food and drink being just about taste are misguided. Try drinking a fine wine from a polystyrene cup or eating a beautifully cooked piece of lamb off a paper plate with a plastic knife and fork, its not the same. This is due to psychological and physiological factors. When drinking a fine wine, the shape of the cup will affect the percieved smell and flavour of the wine and the material of the cup will affect the feel of it in your hands and on your lips.
