Master Chef

We all eat!!

Actually we all eat a lot!!! (anorexics discounted)

Food is well basically food.... both for the mind and soul....

Remember how chocolates can cheer us up and spicy food makes us hot (lol)!!!

Or the way the alcohol works on our bodies... (can't get over that sensation can we)

Food is loved, written about and made so diversely all around the globe.... But yeah, our palettes differ a lot!!!

Japanese and Asian in general (especially those living in and around coast lines) can tolerate a lot of fishy smell... (which would make us puke) with dry fish and all..... But those same people can't even tolerate (hard, smelly) cheese like Roquefort or Gorgonzola...

We all have a distinct relationship with our foods.... The ones which we consider homely... which I'm pretty sure your mom force-fed you when you were a kid...

Food is not just serious eating business it's also fun... Would be glad to go to "Tomatina Festival" in Spain.... I would really like to mash those tomatoes up like we did when we were kids..... And seriously, no one’s ever going to scold us there....

Food has a serious romantic appeal.... As all going out for dates go to fancy restaurants whose tiny serving portions would make us think... (What!!! I'm being ripped off!!! This tinny tiny portion of barely edible junk does no justice to the huge sum you got from my bank account!!!!)

Food is all in the aroma they say... like when we get cold, all the foods taste utterly bland.... like eating paper.... I guess someone should start a new industry... paper food.... You take loads of paper (got zero calories); put a little bit of starch (survival energy) and have tiny bottles like small perfume sprays.... Just spray on the paper... instant steak... chicken... whatever hell you like..... But ain't gonna happen soon... Wait for a few more centuries till all the farmland on earth gets used up... then you'll see where I'm going.....

You know, food was one reason man got intelligent... no not joking!!!

You know early humans were pathetic little souls... couldn't run fast... didn't have claws and were easy picks for all other animals.... But why are we dominant now???? FOOD.....

Lack of food and little bit of climate change forced the monkeys to come out of trees into open grassland.... They were easily targeted by predators... and hence learned to socialize, communicate and develop tools.... so they won't be picked upon by larger more scarier animals with huge teeth and big claws.... Hence technology developed and here we are today.....

Guys went hunting while females sat in caves looking after kids and cleaning the caves.... Over millennia, guys bored of seeing the sky and sun for so long developed the affinity for blue... while girls who picked ripe fruits from the orchards and saw a healthy glow in their children had the color pink ingrained in them....

Hence, most of the guy’s favourite colour is bleu; while those for girls are girly pink.....

But today's modern age has brought all sorts of conveniences into our lives... Who wouldn't want a hot cuppa of steaming instant noodlesss.... (still sort of like them) or ready to eat frozen foods... just microwave them....

The days of going to the kitchen and putting in long toiling hours are finally over..... Great for bachelors....

But just let me ask you'll a question..... Do you really know where your food is coming from? Chocolate from Ghana.... (Can’t even think about going there...), coffee from somewhere else.... all the stuff in our kitchen is not even produced within 100 miles from where we live.... That food for all practical purposes might have just landed from another planet....

Suppose if you were the last person on earth and you have very little food left... wat would you do???? I know I can’t grow anything... (whatever I accidently grow... is unwanted gross stuff anyways) So how would you feed....

Start with a wee little bit of gardening in your yard... Know even I have to do the same... Let’s all just start eating (I MEAN A LOT OF EATING!!!!) for a better sustainable tomorrow!!!!
