[QUOTE="Brunello, post: 550510, member: 4458"] Between what I was already thinking about simple vs. complex plus your further persuasions I've had to make a semantic course correction. Too many contradictions in my original definition, though we've had some good discussion along the way! My original idea was the difference in pleasure derived between simple blends that we like versus more complex blends that beguile and entertain the senses. I wasn't thinking scarcity or price point. The idea of simple layering versus complex layering is also an apt observation. I believe that has to do with how melded the different components become as they fuse into a singular taste (like my spaghetti marinara which has numerous ingredients that fuse into one taste sensation). I suppose the real question is what divides the good simple from the boring simple, a Wendy's frosty versus a plain yogurt, or a juicy prime rib versus a slice of bologna. That is what I believe will be a different answer for each individual. [/QUOTE]
