Would it be possible to have mass produced gourmet food?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) January 27th, 2011

I was reading the question about what goes into Taco Bell food. It made me think about whether you could mass produce food that would taste good to a foodie. Could you mass produce any gourmet recipe?

But even if you did, would enough people buy it? Or is the mass market made up mostly of people who have never been up close and personal with an artichoke?

If you think the majority of the general population does not have the same taste in food as a foodie, and they don’t know why McDonalds isn’t just as good as low-fat, low-sugar food, why is this? Why would someone not appreciate foodie food?
