Whimsical Food! Is it decadence or decency?

Change is the only constant thing as we say, then it must be that we cannot avoid two opposing consequences. Since our obsession to changes is brimful, decadence and decency have become collateral. In technology for instance, the creation of radar has changed the way we communicate and the downbeat is its health disadvantages. The morality of change must be a field of good interest; it is where we can find value of man’s activities, the dynamics of it and how changes affects the way we live, and our philosophy in life.

My fascination to food innovation has led me to question the morality of change. Is decadence to food innovation a matter of moral arguments, or is it that its moral judgment lay down on personal indulgence? I have to admit that innovating is a necessity for us to be able to find better ways of doing things. However we have to be cautious about it as we often time lose the inherent and natural characteristics of it to what we expect it to be. Thus, resulting to decadence and losing food decency.

Whimsical food are food prone to erratic changes depending on geographical location since geographical ingredients differ from one place to another. It also dependent to food culture and belief. While inherent cultural taste often differ from one place to another and is also considered as factor that contributes to whimsical food.

The Mexican Taco Vs. Chocolate Taco Vs. Indian Tacos

In Mexico, the word taco is a generic term like the English word sandwich. A taco is simply a tortilla wrapped around a filling. Like a sandwich, the filling can be made with almost anything and prepared in many different ways (anything that can be rolled inside a tortilla becomes a taco). The contents of a taco can vary according to the geographical region you are eating them. The taco can be eaten as an entree or snack. They are made with soft corn or fried corn tortillas folded over. On the other hand, a chocolate taco is like a real taco only that it has chocolate poured over the top, and chocolate's a dairy product like the cheese in a real taco, has peanuts, which are in fact not nuts at all but legumes like beans, which people often eat with real tacos, it has vanilla ice cream, which could be said to slightly resemble a real taco's sour cream if you squint a little, has fudge striping that represents a meat.
