1 15 the place you eat food important for you?2 Where do you eat your meals at home?

Don't spend lots of money on 1 top quality

cooking; just make sure you like the place

where you have it. A new report says that the

enjoyment of a meal doesn't depend on what

you eat, but where you eat it.

Researchers prepared the same meal in ten.

different 2locations and asked the people

eating it to give it marks out of ten for the

taste, 3 texture and 4 appearance of the food.

When they served 'chicken El la king' in a

residential home for the elderly, it got

5low marks. However, when they served it

to customers in a four-star restaurant, the

reaction was very different. The customers

said it tasted delicious.

'The results show that in many cases the

location is actually much more important

than the food,' said Professor John Edwards

of Bournemouth University. Edwards and his

team took great care to make sure that all

the meals would be as similar as possible.

They used exactly the same kind of chicken,

they stored the dishes in the same kind of

plastic bags and served them all with the

same type of rice. The meal got the highest

marks in every category - taste, texture,

appearance - at the restaurant. Interestingly,

bottom marks went to the 6 dish when they

served it in an army training camp, As one of

the soldiers said, 'It tastes awful and smells

disgustingl'
