Tasting menus are the refuge of increasingly lazy cheap chefs/restaurants who don't want to bust their butts and want zero in the way of food waste these days.
Your opinion is your own, and you are entitled to it. I heartily disagree. I think you simply are unwilling to show respect for something that you don't personally enjoy.
And where did you eat something like foie gras that you didn't like it at first bite?
I can't even recall the first foie gras I ever had, but I had it at the French Laundry and despised it. I've had it several times at various 1-2-3 Michelin star restaurants over the years and never liked it until Joel Robuchon in Paris...and then the next evening at 1 Place Vendome...and then this past May at both L20 and Alinea.
Robyn, your comments seem most pejorative when it comes to things you don't like, as if you can't appreciate that yours is not the only opinion or take on these things!
