Foods and Friends

It's not a competition.

<You're throwing your chips in before you play the hand.>

No. It's not a contest to begin with.

It's a potluck.

<But everyone knows some dishes are better than others.>

No. It's each to their own taste.

I have my pallet, and others have theirs.

I can appreciate an addition without sampling or stacking.

The option don't have to have influence over each other.

<But there is only so much space in a stomach.>

That is true, but the stomach also empties with time.

Not now doesn't mean not ever.

<And what if the pallet changes?>

It has its reasons. They can be worked out.

Flavor is a complex phenomenon,

So a shift is rarely a true exclusion.

Potlucks taste better with friends anyways.
