“Look at this, these are fries! Eish, God help me. See this ma (at this point my friend was busy tormenting me with photos of fries, golden fries some with cheese and some without but all fries—tantalizing)
I think technology should just enable us to download food. Ah, guys, we are tired we need to download food.
Do we have potatoes in the house? Let me head to the kitchen just for two minutes.
Ah, these have jalapeños! (she loves jalapeños by the way).
She proceeds to show me a whole lot of pictures of fries.
Ah, ma see this one. It has got three different types. You can pick one from this and another one from the other…. it’s a terrific combo!
She then sees one comment about chips, “A great experience and this is what she goes on to say, “This. Is. An. Experience! Guys we need to have this experience!”
I burst out laughing. Before you know it, she heads to the kitchen just to make some fries. Foodgasm.
I sit by myself replaying the whole conversation as I proceed to write this piece. No wonder she’s always insisting on buying potatoes. Well I do love potatoes and another friend of mine does too, after all, ‘they are a life saver’, so he says. We were talking about potatoes in general (chuckles). I can safely say I am surrounded by potato lovers.
I initially had a different intro to this article but the whole “fries experience” had me changing my mind. Let me fill you in on what led to this whole scenario.
It was an hour after noon that I posed a question on my insta story which reads, “What food is your weakness and could never say no to?” The responses I got had me thinking or rather reminiscing. Every answer had memories attached to it. Most were a bit nostalgic. There’s a story behind every meal that you have had. It could be your first meal with your lover or the meals that you have with your family, friends, at church, hospital et cetera. I am certain there are so many stories that can be told from mealtimes. Food yields stories just like the one I shared above. So each time you sit down for a meal, don’t just eat, create stories.
Sincerely
