Art is a tricky subject because a lot of times we're told to believe the most expensive, colorful or well prepared dishes or pieces of artwork are 'true' art.
In reality, anything and everything can be art. I can find a plate of poutine art and a dish elsewhere pretentious.
What matters however is in our own realities/perspectives what do we consider more artistic?
While your point is valid in general terms there isn't one person who considers everything art. IF there was then yes, nothing would be IMO.
I'm not artistic in that way so for me it's mostly the basics of presentation. You get a carefully prepared dish(taste wise) with good presentation and I'm happy. Anything more loses appeal with me.
In a lot of walks of life people consider value added and non-value added activities. Watching someone carefully prepare a steak to the perfect doneness with a crispy char on the outside plated in a dish of various equally appealing sides is great. Watching someone drop little drops of sauce carefully around the edges of a plate to make it look fancy may be artistic to some but its completely non-value added to me.
Amen.Well I agree, I find people use art as a means to increase the value to whatever they're doing.
It's not just cooking man, it's art. It's not just a sport, it's art. It's not just music, it's art. It's not just a building, it's art..etc...
Everything can be an art form.
I'm very much a jock, I don't see art in everything. You're not an artist, you're a musician. You're not an artist, you're an athlete. You're not an artist, you're a chef.
I usually just associate art with paintings. That's about it.
I had Lobster cappalletti, OG pepperoni Pizza, and a Burratta carrot roast. The Pizza is the star of the show, and if I go back, its going to be for Pizza only, as the rest of the dish are too expensive for the quantity (typical.)Expensive? Which dish did you like the best?
Subway’s to blameWell I agree, I find people use art as a means to increase the value to whatever they're doing.

Looking to buy cakes for tonight. What are some good bakeries/pastries or places to buy for about 30 people? I know nothing about cakes for your information, and live in Ville-Marie.

I'm Polish, so I'm familiar with Patisserie Wawel. For paczki (the "a" requires a cédille to make the French "on" sound), faworki (Polish angel wings), bread and cooked meats, I drive six minutes further to Patisserie Rosemont, as their prices are cheaper for quality food. At the same time, I can't go wrong in supporting the owners, whom my parents know personally. Wawel has a great and palatable selection of desserts, which is a definite plus, plus their apple cake is to die for, but their prices are a bit high. Next time you enter a Polish Patisserie, I recommend you buy a pack (or two) of faworki. They are my cousin's and his girlfriend's favorite Polish dessert, and second for me after that Polish apple cake.Setting you up for the weekend: did you go to any of the above pastry shops I suggested?
If not, November is their anniversary month at Alati, where their canolis are 2 for 1. Here's your chance to rack up a few at a great price.
I know I will.
Let me know if you do.
reminds me of that place Beaubien/10th ave. (don't know if that's the place you're talking about) I use to go when I was living in the area, not everything was polish but they had great east-european stuff.I'm Polish, so I'm familiar with Patisserie Wawel.

As for Italian desserts, on rare occasions I buy from Firenze Patisserie on Bélanger St. in Saint Leonard. I can't compare its quality or prices to other Italian pastries, as it's the only one I buy from, but I'm definitely tempted to stop by Alati. If my nephews visit tomorrow, I could take them to choose some desserts with me.
Thanks a lot for your suggestions @Runner77 and let me know what you think of faworki. Since the holidays are fast-approaching, I suggest you try the chocolate-covered makowiec (ma-ko-vi-e-tss), which is a sweet poppy-seed dessert. We usually eat it during the Christmas and Easter Holidays. And don't buy the one with raisins in it. Whoever thought of adding raisins to Polish treats and pastries deserves to be exiled!
You're talking about Zytynsky's Deli. It's Ukrainian I believe and pretty darn good. It's where my dad and I usually buy horseradish roots to make our own horseradish sauces (beet & original).reminds me of that place Beaubien/10th ave.

It is, looked on maps, didnt remember it being on 12th. last time I went, think I was in my late 20s. something like 25+ yearsYou're talking about Zytynsky's Deli.

Beaubien & 12th Avenue for the interested.
Haven't had one of these in a while. Definitely one of my favourites.
Probably at the St Ambroise brewery? No idea though. It's excellent out of both the can and bottle though.Is it available on tap somewhere?

Who likes to have cereals at night?
I used to like these when they were available in Montreal eons ago:
When they stopped selling them in Montreal, I could always buy them in Burlington as they kept producing them for the US market.
I've always like their taste and never quite found anything similar until I happened on these at Maxi (or Loblaws in Ontario):
I have them with almond milk and they taste great. Any of you try these?
How's coconut milk compared to almond milk? Never tried it.
