That's a really funny clip, thanks for the link!
I have, and since it was good food/wine I certainly could have enjoyed it without the words that were said about it.

In other words, what was said enhanced the experience without being essential.

We wouldn't eat food or drink wine that requires many words of explanation to even be palatable - that was my point.
