Homogeneity gets to be downright grotesque when it comes to food. A couple of times I have seen a commercial for "gourmet Italian" sandwiches at some national chain restaurant. On screen they show two hamburgers! One of them has breaded, deep-fried, mozzarella sticks on it. Excuse me, that is not gourmet, that is disgusting overindulgence! Do that in the privacy of your own home, if you must, but please don't televise it and call it "gourmet." Thank goodness I do not have a large screen TV. Gag.
