the real man affects the correct amount of class distinction: not too ignorant, yet not too pretentious. the middle way, the golden path.

what's wrong with sauce in the side, having trouble seeing if that's a class thing ("respect the chef's art, you plebe" sort of thing) or a gender thing ("are you minding your girlish figure?")

"This is a thoroughly pedestrian amuse bouche."
With its etymological origin in 'foot', 'pedestrian' is not the adjective I'd use to modify amusing my bouche but I fail to see how my masculinity is affected one way or another.

maybe the implication is that you are meeting a woman for brunch, not taking her there yourself, because you don't sleep with her. because you are a pussy.
