While it may not be the finest food in the world it has its place.

Often the most simple food is the best. e.g. since the super-hyped "Girl & the Goat" venue in Chicago came up here in a thread, I just discussed with close friends how relative things are.
We all came to the conclusion if we were given the choice btwn. a full dining experience at G&tG or only a bottle of croatian Hvarski Plavac (e.g.
Zlatan Plavac),
Vindija Caprodur (a special croatian hard goat cheese, with a wonderful taste) and good white bread we all would choose the latter.
"Girl & the Goat" is certainly an authentic american up-scale dining experience but it can not compare to a bottle of Plavac wine and Caprodur hard goat cheese with simple white bread.
esp. wonderful while on a Mediterranean sailing trip with friends.
