I just think that people go to restaurants specifically to eat something “strange”, to put themselves into a situation where one kind of has to order what’s offered. It’s not like one can’t buy ready-made food in a shop, so restaurants aren’t “the” alternative to homemade cooking. (I mean sauces, preserves, cakes all can be found in many places.) Restaurants are just an “uncommon” alternative, a plunge to be taken.
