Bon Appetit!

Skinny as I might be, I’m one of those people who really enjoy good food; I make up new recipes, alter old ones to my taste, I recommend restaurants and know exactly what a certain meal might need to make it better, at least from my point of view. 

 
Now what really annoys me is that type of people who always pretend they’re not enjoying a certain meal or snack, they would be hungry, eating and their taste buds would be having a party there but they go “I’m not really in the mood to eat”. YOU FINISHED THE WHOLE DAMN PLATE and you’re not in the mood?!



Then there’s the type that puts the smallest amounts of food in their plate (when there are people around) their meal would consist of one pea, 3 grains of rice and two cells of the poor chicken that sacrificed her life so that we can get our protein, and they would be eating like they are forced to eat, with that look that I’m sure you know on their face, I mean come on! Those layers of fat did not just appear there on your body while you were sleeping did they?

Ok how about those who try to justify being hungry? Ummm, not so sure here but I think all people get hungry? “I just need to eat because I’ll get dizzy, I don’t normally eat this” or “I’m only feeling hungry because I’m hormonal, I usually stay the whole day without having a meal”. Oh yeah I believe you, you also do not use the bathroom do you?

Now I know there are some days when people really don’t feel like eating, whether they’re sad, sick or any other reason that would make them lose their appetite, but to have that attitude the whole time? That is just sad! And we know it’s not true.

Let’s see who’s left, oh yeah the "أنا بشتري الأكل وبكبه" type (I buy food then throw it away), so you have money to buy food but you *cough* don’t eat, how about you give some to the poor? That is if you really are saying the truth.
If you can afford food, if you have food to buy, if you can eat food, chances are you’re luckier than most people on earth, so be grateful and for the love of God, just say you’re hungry and say that you like it, no one’s going to judge you! You’re making me lose my appetite.

*This post was brought to by the two impossible sandwiches from heaven I had yesterday, the grilled melted cheddar sandwich I had this morning and the piece of chocolate with bits of cherry inside that I was just randomly given. And now I leave you with the awesomeness that is random Foodporndaily.com pictures, enlarging is recommended.

yummyyyyy you made me extremely hungry and I can’t eat right now “still at work” :( I totally agree with you that some people faking it but there is a few who really don’t eat that much my best friend is one of them and she’s sooo skinny she would talk about food all day but when we go to eat she’ll have like half slice of pizza I really envy her.

I am one of those people like your friend, but I still enjoy food, I mean when I'm hungry, I eat until I'm full but I never pretend I'm not hungry when I am :D and when I eat, I also say when I'm really enjoying it :)
I hope you had a good meal when you got home ;)

You know what else is wrong? Garlic! I can't exist in the same room as garlic to save my life, I suffer in restaurants begging them not to put garlic on my meal :S
how do you manage to eat anything if you hate garlic? i can't think of 5 dishes without garlic
Think of 5 dishes with garlic then remove the garlic from the recipe ;)
I seriously can't, I have fights with waiters all the time because of this, one bite of anything that contains it and I'm all nauseous and sick :(
can you actually taste it? ok yeah sometimes its obvious garlic is included but some times it isnt
did anyone ever try a placebo on you?
I can't just taste it, I know it's in the food without putting it in my mouth, hell I know if the mayo inside a sandwich has garlic in it!
First of all YUMMY for the pictures xD

For me food is one of the life pleasures and I love food, but for sure not all kind of food.
Some times I will but a very small amounts of food if I know that the dessert will be yummy :)

I don't eat that much food ,my weight came from junks (Ice cream, chocolate, POTATO CHIPS...etc) :$

One's attitude to food changes when you move from an urban environment to a more rural environment. I have just spent the last few days helping with the grape harvest for the local wine cooperative. Payment is not in money but in food - in the form of lunch but also whatever our friends have to give - apples, grapes, chestnuts, wines, etc etc etc. All I can recommend is try, if one can, to get out of a supermarket environment and be amazed at the abundance that mother nature has to offer - and with that, the awareness of how we mistreat it so often.

Add to this, the fac that most of the people helping are in their late 60's early 70's if not older - they experienced hunger as a result of World War II and the years after that.

I guess people who experience hunger will have a stronger appreciation for food, but it's true about urban and rural environments in my opinion, in Jordan we get many products like dairy, pickles and whatnot from villages, at least that's how my family prefers it.

Now I'm craving chestnuts :(
mmmmmm roasted chestnuts.....smells of winter
Rand... Your blog was just what I needed on this crazy, busy and frustrating day! :)
Your appreciation for good food is just lovely!! I love food, I love making food... I love eating and enjoying food, trying new recipes and like you, modifying recipes to my taste... I love it when my food makes people feel happy and oh how I love looking at those gorgeous pictures! I just wish I had 'boundaries' when it comes to food, or maybe I should be less greedy haha.

Don't know if you've visited this website before, but www.tastespotting.com has great recipes and beautiful photos!

P.s I can't believe you dislike garlic! I rarely cook without it.. You gotta love garlic!
Wow! How awesome are those pictures! I should try those brownies!! :D
