Caitlin Nelson - Babette's Feast

the snip its that we watched from Babette's Feast was interesting. I was surprised that it made me hungry even though the food was strange and foreign to me. I liked the emphasis that she placed on the tastes of food, that it is important to enjoy the product. Food evokes memories, and emotions, it shouldn't be just some tasteless thing. I loved how the general, would just keep talking about how the food reminded him of things. Babette placed so much time and effort into what she made, it was a source of pride for her. It made me wish that I could think back on some meal that was just mind blowingly delicious, but I don't have one. I've had lots of really good food, but nothing that truly stands out from anything else that I have ever eaten.
