I've heard of one of these in Berlin but the only person I know who's been to Berlin is already blind and wasn't too impressed with the idea... he prefers a greasy spoon anyway! (although how would you know in this place... no, not going down that train of thought). I love the idea - it makes me think of so many interesting angles.

I was particularly taken with your observation, "I realize how much I enjoy looking at my food," not to mention reminding all of us who are sighted how much we rely on our sight to inform what we are tasting. As you did in listening to Lachenmann, I must now try closing my eyes when eating to see what it is I actually taste.Susan Scheid (Raining Acorns)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02827286681242730183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574060146103839230.post-26368798260889550642010-07-14T20:34:31.321-04:002010-07-14T20:34:31.321-04:00Thanks for your comments, WOS.

The restaurant has a regular menu that you can order from beforehand. <br /><br />I have eaten ostrich and other game meat like springbok and kudu in South Africa, so I probably shouldn't be squeamish!Carol-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390714553925368818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574060146103839230.post-38229140719213672902010-07-14T20:09:13.632-04:002010-07-14T20:09:13.632-04:00Wow, what an interesting review.

It was fascinating to read about your observation of how much your sense of sight contributes to your enjoyment of a meal.<br /><br />I also really enjoyed the way you opened the piece, great style.<br /><br />So have you had kangaroo before, when dining in the light?Wide Open Spaceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573357176617683341noreply@blogger.com
