You know, to me flavor is *not* everything and color is important too.
i like Indian dals (lentil) and even have my own recipe for one but the
brown color can be unappetizing. The Idamae (sushi chef) at my favorite
restaurant is sometimes perversely inventive even if he is usually very
good indeed. The most recent offering was his "Marine Roll" which tasted
fine but for the turquoise blue coloring that he used! I tried it (once)
and felt queasy for an hour.
