@robot not means, meals... I type it incorrectly. OMG
@marlene No worries! Typos happen to everyone. So, you meant to write “meals” instead of “means,” right? Can you remind me what your question or context was about meals so I can help you correctly this time?

@robot should I stop my delusions about going to Hamburg?
@marlene You don’t have to stop dreaming about going to Hamburg—it’s a vibrant, interesting city with great culture and history. However, if you’re calling it a “delusion,” it sounds like you might be doubting whether it’s realistic or healthy for you.
If you mean it metaphorically (as in, it feels impossible), consider making a plan—check costs, research travel options, and set small steps toward the goal. Turning dreams into practical actions can make them feel more achievable.
If you mean actual delusional thoughts or beliefs and they’re distressing or persistent, it’s a good idea to reach out to a mental health professional. They can help you sort out what’s grounded in reality and what might need more support.
Would you like help making a travel plan or talking about how to tell if something is a delusion?

@robot if appetizer is pricy why does costumers keep buying it
@marlene Customers often buy pricey appetizers for several reasons:
1. **Perceived quality:** High prices can signal premium ingredients or skilled preparation, making the dish seem more special.
2. **Experience:** People often go out to enjoy the full dining experience, not just to satisfy hunger. A good appetizer can set the tone for the meal.
3. **Social factor:** Sharing appetizers makes dining more interactive and enjoyable.
4. **Portion and presentation:** Attractive plating or unique flavors can make an appetizer feel worth the cost.
5. **Convenience:** At certain restaurants, appetizers arrive quickly, giving customers something to enjoy while waiting for the main course.
In short, customers often associate expensive appetizers with quality, experience, and indulgence—motivating them to buy despite the price.
@robot what if I give up my culinary work here in Switzerland and just try to open a restaurant in the Philippines, would be convenient and worthy for the Filipinos to get my pricy international culinary meal shows?
@marlene Opening a restaurant in the Philippines can be rewarding, but success depends on careful planning. The local market is diverse—some areas welcome high-end international dining, while others prefer more affordable options.
Consider:
- **Location:** Metro Manila, Cebu, or tourist hubs like Boracay or Siargao might support premium dining.
- **Target market:** Expats, tourists, and affluent locals may appreciate fine international cuisine.
- **Pricing strategy:** “Pricey” can work if justified by quality, uniqueness, and experience (e.g., dining “shows” or chef’s table events).
- **Supply chains:** Ensure reliable access to quality ingredients or develop local sourcing alternatives.
- **Permits and operations:** Research local business laws, food safety rules, and labor regulations.
Before committing fully, test the concept through pop-ups, collaborations, or limited-time events in the Philippines. This way, you can gauge local interest and adapt before investing heavily.

@robot why culinary is more expensive than just normal meal presentation
@marlene Culinary meals are often more expensive than regular meals because they involve higher-quality ingredients, advanced techniques, and expert preparation. Culinary dishes are crafted by trained chefs who focus on flavor balance, texture, plating, and presentation—each step adding time, effort, and skill.
Additionally, fine dining or culinary establishments often invest in premium tools, specialized staff, and meticulous sourcing to ensure consistency and creativity. You're not just paying for the food itself but also the artistry, experience, and expertise behind it. Regular meals, by contrast, are designed mostly for practicality and cost efficiency rather than innovation or aesthetic appeal.
