Is automation killing authenticity? From pre-mixed gravy to cloud kitchen. We are becoming a mass market consumer. There is no real taste left. You order a gravy, and it will have a bucket load of cream or a sugary tomato blend taste.
The same goes for any other drinks. Most restaurants sell packaged juice as “juice.” The recent encounter I had was with restaurants selling kombucha under the disguise of kokum syrup and water.
We are entering into an era where our food taste will be industrialised in no time.
