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.
