For "foodies" people who love and study food and cooking-dining is a feast for the senses, not just for the stomach. Food critics may tell readers about the color of fresh vegetables, the silky texture of a soup, or the rich aroma perfectly cooked chicken. They will mention whether they were listening to soft while they ate, or the noises of pots and pans being washed in the restaurant's kitchen. And most importantly, they will describe the taste of every dish on the table, starting with the appetizer and ending with the dessert.
