How much of what we like is because of its relativity? For example, if we are surprised by how good something tastes, does that make it the "best ever"? Is this truly the "best ever" cupcake (please no more cupcakes i beg you) was the "best ever" butter chicken we had really in a railway hotel in Jhansi? Or does surprise and the fun of discovery add like five delicious points to everything.

Good question. And it seems like the element of surprise definitely becomes an ingredient in a well-loved meal! :)
