I always heard smell was as important as taste in enjoying food. If he could smell did he still had a part of sensiing flavors?
My most memorable meal ever was during my five-year stay in Japan, in a very high-end Japanese restaurant that was modeled on a old teahouse; i.e. several small separate buildings surrounded by beautiful gardens. The food was served in many small courses, each course more delicious and more artistically presented than the last. The garnish for one course was rice, still on the stalk, that had been quickly immersed in hot oil so it had "popped," and I remember a whole grilled fish that was presented on a bed of smooth river stones. A new slightly-bigger-than-morsel-sized course appeared in the hands of the lovely kimono-clad waitresses about every 20 minutes or so, leading me to dreamily note to my friends that I could probably keep eating at this pace forever. The food, the beautiful surroundings, the service are still all fresh in my mind after more than 20 years; alas, the name or location of the restaurant is gone forever!
Being a creative chef as you are, and me being a poor artist as I am, would you have a good recommendation for what to do with ramen noodles?
What does Alinea mean?
