To me, food provides the best experience and concept of sublime. When I say food, I’m not just talking about one culture of food; I’m talking about all kinds. Trying out foods that are culturally different from what I normally eat is the best way to experience sublime.
Recently, I went to a Brazilian steakhouse called Churrascaria Plataforma, located on 49th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenue. The tenderness of the steaks and its savory flavor that comes out of the meat as I chewed on it was breath taking. The meal was a buffet type meal in which you can eat all the meat you want till you’re full; what’s best, was that choice of meat consisted of: sirloin, rib eye, steak, filet mignon, pork ribs, sausages, and lamb.
The best meat I tried was sirloin, cooked medium rare. As the sirloin entered my mouth, I could not contain the excitement of eating something that I did not image would be so delicious. The mixture of spices and taste of meat made me feel not only euphoric but also impatient to ask for more.
I do hope that readers of this response knows how you feel when you eat something really delicious. In this response, I might be talking about the taste of food that brings about the experience of sublime, but, we, humans, know that just by looking at delicious food is enough to activate the feeling of sublime.
So, to all who reads this response, feast your eyes upon the deliciousness and experience the sense of sublime I felt myself as I laid my own eyes upon them.
