Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
To me the idea of eating in pitch darkness - were they give you unbreakable glasses 'cause you
are bound to knock them over - is ridiculous. I want to enjoy my companions, one or two might be better if they stayed
in the dark mind but perhaps I should pick better looking friends, not talk to a disembodied voice. And I certainly
want to see what I am eating. Pretentious? You bet!
This seems to be the conclusion of the Independent reviewer of Dans Le
Noir the London outlet of a French restaurant concept. It is so
dark you can even get up to go to the loo without someone holding your hand. The reviewer raises a point too - they say
they give you such and such a dish but how do you actually know if you can't see it? What if you knock the veg on the
floor and didn't realise? And how do you fill up your wine glass without over-filling it?
Isn't one of the
important concepts of eating out the delight in the food's presentation? If you cant see it what are you paying for? If
I wanted to eat in darkness I'd have a packet of chocolate biscuits under the duvet thank you.
If you're interested in how the concept came about, check out our previous article.

Its a facinating experience. Depriving your brain of visual input really does up your sensory experience of eating.
Not that you have to go to a restaurant for that one...
