roast

Description

Roast is the culinary ritual of deliberately searing meat to masquerade as haute cuisine. Its crispy exterior and juicy interior simultaneously provoke appetite and guilt. Everyone stages it for the perfect Instagram shot, parading it like edible armor. Yet the lonely bones left on the plate serve as a grim reminder of one’s hollow quest for approval.
