when eating gets weird

Tweet

"what you eat defines the person that you are"--or something like that. what about "how" people eat? or what their preferences are in eating? 1. my uncle, a lawyer, has always been a 'country lad' and never fails to bring it to work, even when he's in the big city already. duringn one session and over fruit-juice-and-bread, he demonstrated one of his all-time favorit habit: dunked the bread into his orage juice, ate the already-soft and ice-cold bread, let the crumbs settle in his glass, and finally drinking the juice. juice! i guess i could do it with coffee, but orage juice! what's more, the fellow lawyers--for all that's weird--actually followed his example and laughed over it. and we pay them by the hour. tsk tsk. 2. my big brother, who looks a lot like this uncle in no.1, likes his hot chocolate (or cocoa) with his rice. no no, he doesn't eat rice then flush it down with hot choco, no. he pours the whole mug of choco (which is V-V-Very sweet, by the way), and he eats what resembles a rice soup. imagine cereal, bit with cooked rice and a ton of sugar. *wide wide eyes* 3. and who could forget my dear friend, who likes her bread with ketchup. i mean, come on: there IS a reason why there's peanut butter and jelly, isn't there? when i laugh at these weirdness, i examine my life: what have i done in the dining table? and then it hit me: 4. half-day old rice, crumpled into balls, and dipped in brown sugar. yeah, i guess there's me, too. not to tease or anything, let's only laugh a little: what's YOUR weird eating story? ^_^V
