Another thing that makes real life so real and satisfying is the richness of the sensory experience that it provides: sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, balance, movement, temperature, pain and emotions (not exactly a sense per se, but experienced acutely in sensory form).

Hambledon Première Cuvée, Hampshire, England NV (£42.50, bbr.com; hambledonvineyard.co.uk) From the Hampshire village known as the birthplace of cricket, but made by Champagne's Hervé Jestin, this is deeply impressive, one of the best English bottles I've yet tasted, balancing rich creaminess with a precision-guided cut-glass acidity.
It tasted good, it tasted creamy, it tasted balanced.
"That little country pepper takes you right back to Jamaica," said Ronald Patterson, a customer at Buff Patty in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, using a Jamaican term for the Scotch bonnet chili pepper, which has a fruity, almost floral taste that balances its considerable heat.
Taste and balance the flavours as you see fit; I like the dressing to have a sweet note to balance the acidity of the capers and the cornichons, like a good American deli mustard.
Woe to anyone who dares to mention the utter lack of taste and balance.
Add the fish sauce and lime juice and taste for balance.
Taste for balance and adjust with more fish sauce or lime juice if necessary.
