- ziddoap 1y agoI ate lobster maybe 100+ times (and enjoyed it) before I learned that it used to be peasant food.
- suriya-ganesh 1y agoI think what the parent comment is saying is that, lobster was likely introduced as an elite/rare dish to people in the current century increasing the appeal
- cortesoft 1y agoThat is exactly the point they are trying to make... that you enjoyed it BECAUSE you thought of it as a delicacy and not as peasant food. I think the point is a little overwrought, really... while our expectation is part of what makes it taste good, it doesn't completely change what we think... there are a lot of foods that are considered delicacies that a lot of people don't like.
- ziddoap 1y ago>that you enjoyed it BECAUSE you thought of it as a delicacy and not as peasant food When I was a child, I didn't even know the word "delicacy" let alone have any concept of whether what I was eating was a delicacy or not.
- cortesoft 1y agoLike I said, I disagree with the person's overall thesis, just pointing out what they were trying to say.
