I have to say, this is why I am no conniseur of fine quisine. L'Enclume serves artistically creative food, none of which sounds the least bit appetizing to me. It's not direct aversion, like hating crab or horseradish or anything. It's that the products on their menu are so useless, so without purpose, and so complex in their varying attempts to be Amazing, that it removes all of what makes food Food. Amazing food isn't an unforseen combination of juxtaposing flavors and consistencies; it's that meal that appeals to the base human instinct of satisfying hunger. It may not sound like much, but think about the last time you ate anything -- even Burger King -- that was so enormously satisfying that those deep, animal instincts felt really, really good, versus what you had for lunch yesterday. That's what a restaurant should strive to provide in their menu.
