Food became tastier when you eat it together with your friends.

Hi there Fellow Mylotters, I really loved eating pizza but I was dismay to the pizza that has been delivered to us since the taste is not that good. Maybe because it is not as expensive as those with a high-end brands. Nevertheless, we still ate it. At first, I thought nobody will eat it since the taste was not pretty good. But, since we are also doing some chatting and talking while doing our snack, we were surprised then when the box of pizza got empty. The 10 sliced pizza was all eaten even we are only four. That we are quite shocked and looked at each other when the box got emptied. We never think that despite of its ordinary taste, we will able to eat all of the slices. Well, sometimes, we can never really tell, despite of the ordinary taste of the food, it becomes tastier the moment you eat it together with your friends.

Yes, I agree with that. It is not the food that counts but the bonding we share with our friends. Here in our office we also always ordered pizza and we love it but sometimes we also share foods like sardines and dried fish for a change. We eat more and have more appetite if that are the foods we are sharing.

Indeed. I guess, we tend to forget the real taste of the food that we are eating since we are enjoying the time that we have had.

Yes true, the taste appears different when we eat with family members and friends, more so in our homes, 2 days ago a mylot friend came here, we ate together, all were happy.. Thanks for this discussion.

It's right, my friend. I usually go to eat with my friends or my husband. I don't like to go to restaurant alone. Food will be tastier if we eat with our friends or family

When friends are together, they are so engulfed with all the chitchats and that nothing else really matters. That also includes chowing down on food mindlessly!

I have to agree, it will taste better. You are not concentrating on the pizza, but on the friends and the conversation.

Well it does make a lot of difference in eating alone and eating with friends having a good time.But personally i feel that i really get the taste of food when i get very hungry and i.e. when i skip a meal or two.

You are right, even the most bland food would taste like a kings dinner when eaten up with the most loving friends. I remember when we all cousins use to get together and our moms use to cook food, it was bland or bore but ya being kids we don't like the elders food or what they eat, but we use to eat everything as we were together. Those memories still bring back smile. Now things are changed way lot.

Or family! Probably because we are so happy if we are surrounded with our loved ones that even the plainest of food becomes tasty because we spend time sharing it with them. I believe it's our happiness of being with them that influences on how we see-or taste-some stuff.

well anything that is shared with good hearts and caring hands are tastier specially if shared with the people who are close to someone's heart. It is fun eating with the loved ones, friends and family. [i]"Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act." [/i] M.F.K. Fisher, ‘An Alphabet for Gourmets’

That's really true. When I was working, during a very short time of breaktime for 4 hours overtime, me and my friends are still enjoying a bowl of hot noodles and rice. Before the the breaktime is done, we're finished eating and we're feeling full even with the plain meal we ate.

Yes, when you are having a good time with good company, the taste of the food isn't so important. Friends are important.

Just Hungry - Guilty.
Totally agree with that! Even some simple food in a great company could be the beast meal. Especialy when tired or hungry :p
