Sometimes you order a dish and it surprises you, it’s not what you thought it would be. You read the menu description and a picture of the dish forms in your mind, then it arrives at the table and it looks nothing like what you imagined. Worse, it doesn’t taste like you imagined, and you’re forced to slog through something you don’t care for. Disappointment ensues. This has happened to me more times than I can recall.
But sometimes—and it doesn’t happen often—sometimes, the dish is not what you envisioned in a good way. It’s better than you imagined, and on rare occasions, much better. These pleasant surprises are what food lovers live for. And I’ve found they are often the most memorable. It’s usually the surprises I remember more than the great dishes I’ve had, that I expected to be great.
Today, my wife and I ordered a dish to share, and it far exceeded my expectations.
