Sandwich

I do love this photo. The sandwich was pretty good, as well. Question: Does a piece of food taste better because of where you eat it (in this case my in-law’s property on Christina Lake in British Columbia) or taste better because of what you eat it off of? (In this case, a vintage plate that was made, as my mother would say, “When God was a little boy.”)

Difficult to say. I know the crossword added to the enjoyment, as did the fact that I could eat it while wearing a damp pair of swimming trunks.

How do non-food factors influence how we enjoy (or not enjoy) the food we eat? Would this sandwich taste the same if it were eaten in a rush in the front seat of a car in a January rainstorm?
