A friend told me once that I eat like the French. This made me curious, since I don't really have any idea how the French eats. So, I asked and found out that the French eats slowly and savors their food. Apparently, I do eat like the French. I love food, you see. I love to enjoy it. It feels like wasting food if you eat something and not savor it. That's why I have always been a slow eater. I've always been known to spend my entire lunch hour doing just that - lunching. Eating and drinking is experiential, for me. I do not even strive to become a food critic. I mean, I think that salted french fries are one of the most divine things created. What does that tell you? You don't really have a food connoisseur here. There hardly seems to be any bad food for me, to be honest. Sure, I don't really like green, leafy vegetables. They make me feel like a horse. I will eat them, however, if they enhance the flavor of my meal. Same thought on wine and other beverage. I like picking out the ones that will make food taste better.
We all have the sense of taste. I have never really heard of anyone having a taste handicap. Maybe that's just God's way of saying you all deserve to enjoy your food.
Sa UP ba toh? Anyway, you just made me crave for fries, something that I've been avoiding na. Order ako later ^-^
ReplyDeleteYou remind me of another friend. My gosh, kahit siya yung nauna umorder, pinaka-konting order at naunang kumain, siya ang huli sa amin lahat matapos haha
ReplyDeleteI am a picky eater kaya hirap na hirap ang nagluluto sa amin kung ano ang papakain sa akin haha But slowly, I am appreciating more food.
Ako ang laging naiiwan sa dining table, I don't know I think I need 30 minutes to finish my meal. I take time eating longer than I shower.
ReplyDelete@pomegranate: Ayala Triangle, sis. We ate at MoMo. :) Now that you've mentioned it, makapagpa-deliver nga. :D
ReplyDelete@Dianne: Ganyan ako, sis. Meron naman akong friend na exact opposite ko. Sa loob ng 15 minutes, nakakain na siya ng full meal at nakapag-washroom na din. Parang iniinom lang ang pagkain. Haha...
@Jean: Matagal din akong mag-shower. Haha... Now that I think of it, I take an average of 2 hours to get ready for work. :P
now that's what i have to learn-eat slowly. i love food too but i eat super fast. i can eat a full meal in 5-10 minutes, kasama na yung pag-init ng food.
ReplyDeletenow i know why you're slim! hehe. :)
@mooncake: May kaibigan akong ganyan. Di ko kaya. Gusto ko kasi nalalasahan ko talaga yung pagkain ko. Pakiramdam ko dinadaya ko sarili ko kapag di ko man lang na-enjoy pagkain ko. :P
ReplyDeleteI love eating slow... I love food but I don't really care kung overcooked, etc. Kaya nga minsan ayokong may kasamang yung magaling magluto kasi di ko naeenjoy ang food. Ang daming comment.
ReplyDelete@Pink: Madami naman akong friends na magaling magluto. Pero hindi sila mareklamo sa pagkain. Puro lang kami sarap-kain. Hahaha... :D
