microwave a meal cooked in a microwave oven that cooks food very quickly
noun
meal Microwave meals are easy when you don’t want to cook.
When you eat, how important is it to see the food on your plate? If you want to find
out, then go for a meal at the Unsicht Bar in Berlin, Germany. At this restaurant, you
can’t see anything — not the waiter, not your food, not even your own hands — it is
completely dark.
The idea is that eating in the dark makes everything taste better, and because there is
nothing to look at, you can think about and enjoy your food more. So the chef (who
works in the light!) only cooks fresh, simple foods, and there is no menu — you are
only asked if you would like to eat meat, fish, or vegetables. Then you have to try to
guess what the meal is.
All the waiters are blind because it is easier for them to move around carrying food
and drink in the dark. When they bring your food, they tell you where your food is on
the plate — for example, chicken at 12 o’ clock, rice at 3 o’ clock. There are knives and
forks, but you are welcome to eat with your hands — after all, no one can see you!
“Everything tasted delicious,” said one customer. “In the dark, even everyday foods
like boiled potatoes taste interesting!”
