Okay, guys let's dive into this one.
I was minding my business jejely😅 like the great #hiver that I'm on one cool afternoon while browsing through my ecency notification to see if any of my favorite authors has published new content. Suddenly an author from the Hivenaija community wrote about something that not only caught my attention but made me shiver to my spine.😫
The title of the post made me rush to read the details. And after I finished, a lot of thoughts went through my mind.
Just in case you are wondering what was the gist all about the author's contents? The question was if I were to eat only one food for the rest of my life, what food would I choose?
As we all know the importance of food in our dear life, and its beauty most times lies in our ability and freedom to eat different varieties of meals.
To answer this question might seem simple but it is not. It is a bit hard for me to just wake up and decide to eat only one food for the rest of my days.
Perhaps if I'm not such a foodie who loves different varieties of meals it could have been a bit easier but you see, I'm such a lover of exploring different varieties of meals, so help, and tell me how on earth can I live my life eating only one food for the rest of my beautiful life?
But the thing is, choosing only one food for life is the only way for me to survive, no matter how hard that sounds I have just got to choose. I love this my one life 😊and I still want to live regardless.
I went through the list of my favorite meals, I thought of choosing semovita with vegetable soup but I knew I would get bored of it after just a few days.
I thought of eating beans all my life and it felt so boring and cruel at the same time.
The thought of my delicious Darling egg omelet comes to mind and I will miss it so much if I choose other food but I can't still choose my egg omelet, as it will only take a while before it gets so tiring that I may lose my appetite.
Does this mean I won't be able to enjoy my tea whenever I want? oh boy, this would be a serious 😒 matter.
So, what will I choose?
I decided to go with rice, my all-time world best. Why rice you may say?
With rice, I can choose to cook it in different ways on different days. I can do Jollof rice sometimes, white rice, or fried rice some other times. Even my concoction rice will not be left out. By eating rice this way, I get to experience a variety of tastes and it will be a bit easier for me to cope. Don't forget that we Nigerians have the best ways to prepare our rice, so rice will be my sure banker.
Even at that, eating a single type of food for life will be like a prison where one is not free to choose as she/he deems fit.
A question like this made me think about how lucky we are that we can eat different kinds of food all the time whenever we want as long as we can afford it. For that, I'm very grateful.
Having the liberty to eat any food I wanted felt so underrated. It is a privilege that I cherish and am grateful to God for.
I hope we will never find ourselves in a situation where we will be made to choose one single food because our survival depends on it.
