We’ve all heard about combining food with other pleasurable sensory experiences like cheese and art shows, prime rib and strippers, sex and pastrami, so why not combine delicious food with a debilitating existential crisis? Can’t recall how or why this pairing came up in an electronic conversation but it did. I’ve had “acrimony and cheese” in my idea box for a while so maybe it just took seed.
The menu so far includes:
- acrimony and cheese
- cinnabons and self analysis
- deviled eggs and despair
- ennui and baked brie
- french fried fear of death
- judgement and jellied eggs
- night terrors and tapas
- paralyzing fear and fresh fruit
- regret au gratin
- self doubt and sauerkraut
- spiritual death and duck sauce
- singularity and cinnamon sticks
Pieces in progress
The point is just about associations word play and emotional responses through the juxtaposition of unrelated subjects. I once heard you don’t stop with one great idea, you take two or more good ideas and somehow bring them together. I’m not sure “sauerkraut” constitutes a “good idea” but it certainly evokes associations to smell and taste and unique cultural influences.
