Buy the smallest piece of the most expensive thing at the counter

“Asking for the dearest thing and then the smallest sliver of it feels cheap. It's the only affordable way to find out what the top of the shelf actually tastes like.”

The Recipe

  1. At the nearest deli or cheese counter, ask what the single most expensive thing they sell is, and buy the smallest amount they will cut.
  2. Eat it slowly and on its own, before anything else, while you can still taste it clearly.
