My family and friends will sometimes ask, why do you eat like that? My response always is, we all have our quirks. It’s strange to me how one man’s odd eating style is critiqued without personal introspection from the critic themselves. Fact is, we all have our own weird eating rules. I’ve met quite a few in my life. For instance;
- I knew a college friend who could not eat with a full size fork, only salad forks. They even brought them from home yo make sure they had one for the cafeteria. The claim was the bigger forks caused them to gag.
- You pizza dipping folks have me shaking my head. Once grade school begins I thought every food no longer needed to be dipped, especially in something as pungent as ranch. My summation; if you are dipping your pizza in ranch you are eating some really crappy pizza.
- I have a friend who can’t eat anything out of its time slot. Once breakfast is over, those foods are no longer options. The thought of an early morning burger at a tailgate makes them ill.
- My buddy Bob Cooney loves things created with tomatoes but can’t eat a tomato.
It’s clear that we draw lines about food and tend to be quite critical of others thoughts. My daughter loves to use the adage “don’t yuk somebody else’s yum”.
What I wanted to focus on today were my actual food item quirks. The things about food that cause me to follow rituals. I bet you have your own too. If you want to share a few of them drop me an email at John.Kincade@bbgi.com
