I realised I wanted to write about food when I was telling my boyfriend about a delicious meal I once had and noticed he had that "look" on his face...that type of look that suggests I may have been rambling excitedly for just a little bit longer than what could be considered normal...or I suppose some could also argue it was a look of love and wonder...

Whatever the meaning, it got me thinking.

Wouldn't it be nice, if, instead of reading about how old a wine is, how mature a cheese is and what interesting things can be done with frankly disgusting parts of an animal's body...you read a review that covered the more important aspects to dining.

And not some distant review either...one with a personality. I think that's important in a food review because food and taste is so subjective. Obviously if I read a review about the vulgar smell of meat in a restaurant - it would be both nice and helpful to know that this person was a fanatic vegetarian with a tendency to exaggerate and that just maybe that particular review was not so applicable to me.

Now I'll never admit to be a food or wine connoisseur...I'll also never admit to be being the most objective or agreeable person in the world. And to be perfectly honest my eating habits have left more than a few people perplexed (like Sally says... "I just like things the way I like them").

And yes I am critical person...if there is a fault I will find it and voice it...in fact those that know me would also suggest that even if there weren't a fault I would possibly consider cunningly making one just so that I could have the pleasure in commenting on it.

But I do love the experience of eating and I do want to write about it.

I'm also a big believer of things being relative and certainly subjective. I've hated and almost choked on meals that most food critics have praised, purely because at that time I was focusing on how to end a relationship that was just not working. I've praised and adored the greasiest, most filthiest kebab in the world because it was 5am and I'd been drinking and I was hungry.

No review can ever be objective - nothing of the senses ever can be. So when I write my reviews I want to be as honest as possible and give you the background.

Sometimes a girl comes across a good piece of food...but let's face it, more often than not, food meets girl.
