Tova:
Oh, I should mention another thing. Having an educated palette does not necessarily spoil my enjoyment of the lower quality stuff.

True, I hate crappy croissants.

But chocolate, on the other hand. While I really love fine chocolate, and would happily eat it exclusively, my ability to gorge on cheap chocolate borders on health-threatening.

Instant mash, viewed as mashed potato, is an abomination, but instant mash viewed as a starch source that may be acceptably flavoured with cayenne, garlic and the like is acceptable in a quick meal just so long as you don't think of it as potato...

Yeah, I can happily do this.

I judge stuff for what it is, not for what it is not.

shanejayell:
New strip. :D

Poor Brun.  :laugh:

I try to strictly limit the number of things I acquire an educated palate for.  It makes life simpler (and cheaper).

--- End quote ---

As someone who has sought an educated palate in many things, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Computers
Audio setups
Food (cheese, meats, and chocolate especially)
Beer
Liquor (Rum and Gin especially)

Life would be simpler if my tastes were as well.  It honestly seems to feed into that depression that hits when times get hard, and you can either try to enjoy things you know to be subjectively worse, or go without.  Either way, it becomes all too easy to stop enjoying things that once brought you pleasure.

In that case, I have a question:
Is "rosehips and juniper ale" 1:1 with gin?
Here's why;

zisraelsen:
I like her! She's very supportive!

BenRG:
Poor Brun though! She's always having it reinforced to her that most people use completely and mystifyingly deceptive figurative terms to describe completely routine things like defecation. Why would they do that, at least with a friend?

Still, it's cute how she trusts Clinton with what Renee probably has explained to her should be a closely-guarded secret, based on her reaction in panel 5. Brunette Cutie is probably thinking something like: "Mom warned me that these east coast hipster towns were weird!"
