To eat is to live;
To taste is to evolve.
"Humans evolved because of their desire,
because they couldn’t restrain their appetite.
A curiosity for unknown tastes andfood that stimulates the five senses.
Colour, shape, texture, aroma, taste, temperature, moisture, how it feels in your mouth and how easily it can be swallowed, let the feeling melt into your body,
as the memory lay asleep deep within your brain.
It all becomes a taste that rocks your very emotions, releasing your true instincts
 A taste of irrepressible joy;
 A taste of sudden bursting anger;
 and then,
 A taste of embarrassment;
 A taste of sadness... A taste of emotions,
enjoyed by the senses.
It is neither a source of nutrients nor a source of energy, nor a gourmet of gastronomical delight.
This is a provocative dinner that awakens your lost desires..."
