Wow, are you serious? What is the best food you had? |
Probably a really nice sirloin steak with a lovely garnish on it. It was so nice I became hesitant to keep eating because I didn't want it to end.
I'm not saying I don't enjoy food, but I don't enjoy much food and the stuff I do like is either too expensive (like the steak) or too unhealthy to keep eating regularly. If I'm not hungry I don't think about food, so I'd sacrifice nice food for the endless time spent shopping, cooking, cleaning up and having to eat boring food. |

I dont like cooking for myself, but I do love to cook for other people.
Friends, good food and good convo is a good meal.
Funny how most cultures revolve around sharing meals with other people in social context |

I've never seen it curdle. I even googled some more pictures of people drinking it and, yeah, it's not really uncommon around here:

I had a nice bimbimbap for lunch today, it made me so happy. |
Bimbimbap makes me angry.
There's a shortage of Koreans around here where I live, and soon after you mentioned bbb for the first time, my fiancée coincidentally told me she had had the good old hot seasoned vegetables for lunch and that she simply "forgot" to introduce me to this fine exemplar of Korean cuisine when I visited her :mad:
And how can you not like bread?! Sliced bread is the greatest thing since, well, sliced bread!

I guess the more interesting question from this dynamic would probably be: Is it simply in the nature of the social imperative to establish emotional-nostalgic resonance given a varying subset of communicable conditions[?] |
I'd say this is more like it. Let's say I find experience E to be pleasant. I shared experience E with someone else, person P, and we used an object O to identify this experience. It's inevitable that future interactions with object O will remind me of the experience E - and, what I think is the beauty of it - that happens even in the absence of the person P.
It must be borne in mind, I believe, that food can also be the basis for mutual identification (something my psychologist friend also pointed out). The moment I share my food with you, and you have it, we're clearly stating that (1) I invite you to become someone who belongs to my group and (2) you accept the invitation. That's why most romantic dates have a nutritional moment at some point - most commonly dinner.
If I asked a girl out on a date, and she refused to have whatever I order/cook, actually brought her own food with her, and didn't let me have a bite... well, it'd be odd to say the least. |

Haha, need a tissue to dry the tears? :p
There are not a lot of Koreans living around here either, but they are concentrated in a certain suburb and there are 3 Korean restaurants there practically next to each other. But it's not cheap around here.
Bread.. I can enjoy a good sandwich but just sliced bread with ham/cheese/jam.. it's so dry and boring. And having to eat it five days a week doesn't make it taste better either.
I'm going to HK/China in 2 weeks, going to have so much good food, nom nom nom! Don't worry, I'll show you lots of food pics, so don't be jealous :D |

I feel your pain, though I guess I have to go to São Paulo to get some delicious (and cheap!) bimbimbapness around here... and by "around" I mean one thousand kilometres away :p

Be inventive! For example...
Bread + cheese + kimchi (just the vegetables) = insta-win!

That's not the case at all.
However, all things considered, that's a pretty disrespectful thing to say. |

You eat kimchi at home?
I actually did buy a pack of kimchi once, but damn, that smells so bad in the fridge (once you open the pack) :nervous: |

Like I said before, it's the sort of kimchi the Japanese immigrants brought to Brazil, way less spicy than the real thing, and known as "kimuchi" :p

Try eating jiaozi in public! A woman around here makes some delicious cheese jiaozi (yeah, not very Chinese, I know), and the one time I opened it in a bus, it smelled like the whole bus had just orchestrated a memorable group fart. |
