Food is Rich in Feelings and Memories!

Food is more than just food!

For many of them it is, ‘we live to eat’ and for many others it is, ‘we eat to live’. It is when food replaces our emotions that we feel that we are living to just eat and relish. It feels like food is something more than just a fuel to our stomach and body. From mommys coconut bars to the Starbucks espresso shared with one’s beloved triggers feelings, emotions and memories. Its high time that we consider eating food as not just to fill our stomachs to extend our survival but consider eating as a gun that triggers emotion and memories at every bite.

Eating with Family

Dining with families is like a vegetable rice. Just like too many vegetables in the rice, too many dishes at just one-time dining. The huge variety of dishes that keeps dominating each other, especially on Sundays when everyone in the family sets to relax, our mothers would work on spicing our best-loved food and curries. The feeling is different. It amounts to of having a lot of family memories by sharing opinions and with lot of other family talks. Each time we dine together we are occasionally driven to our past memories of togetherness.

Dining with Friends

Fooding with our besties is a different story indeed. It is like a combo pack that treats us with offers and looks like filling and fulling our tummies. We tussle for food among ourselves. We would have opted a combo pack thinking we are gonna get a variety of foods at the best decent rich price. Well, no doubt that in such a pecking situation, all of us pitch in our money and fight for four eatables on the combo plate with ten of us trying to grab a piece or two from it. Yet a lot of emotions with making memories for nostalgic moments in the future. The fight for food never ends.

Food with Partner

This is a little intricate stuff. Food with our partner is like the two minutes noodles. We’ll not know when it started and when it ended. The time seems to run so fast that we wouldn’t have stayed in our conscience of what was happening all around. For every bite we would have had an hour long talk and yet we feel the hours have passed in a minute’s time. Also, the bitterest dish would have tasted the sweetest ever at that moment.
