re: "I've Never Had A Bad Meal There"-What Does That Mean?

quote:

Two of the biggest points of contention:

1) people that think just because something is popular that means it's good

2) people who refuse to distinguish between something that's inherently not good and something that's just a difference of opinion. this is something many folks need to reconcile.

Agreed, and there's also another couple of dynamics at play here, and that's those who say don't really like the flavor of peanut butter and so say a dressing is nasty because it has peanut butter in it.

Or there are those meat and potato people who are scared to try any different flavor combinations that they haven't grown up on, or they consider odd because they weren't introduced to it, or the strange words frighten them, and they think the food is weird or write it off entirely as bad or gross at a place, or maybe girlie or hippie, or pretentious or fancy.

Having a frame of reference is important in bringing perspective to things I think.
