Though I love to cook and at most times, am not entirely opposed to the idea of eating, I wouldn't call myself a foodie. I don't like a lot of things that many people like (ice-cream, cake, chocolates, pizza, nutty cookies) and I like a lot of things many people don't like (kang kong, broccoli). Lately, I have been having these very random, very mixed feelings on food (depending on my mood, what's cooking, and who's around), and I thought I should just blog them out of my system.
So here they are, my 25 cents on food:
Food is...
...the essence of life.
...an everyday routine.
...the only thing to look forward to on certain days.
...a great avenue for family bonding.
...the window to a culture.
...a nuisance when you have no one to have it with.
...a factor that contributes greatly to the "It's lonely at the top" concept.
...a great way to get creative.
...an ice-breaker.
...a tool to avoid awkward silences.
...a way of abusing the body.
...a welcome relief in the middle of a busy day.
...an annoying interruption in the middle of a busy day.
...yummy.
...a way to take care of yourself.
...what some lives revolve around.
...an avenue to be yourself.
...a perennial topic for books.
...at times expensive and totally not worth it.
...a great source of delight, especially for guys.
...a way for us to have a say in how our body functions.
...pretty.
...boring.
...fun.
...yummiest when Mom makes it.

Bhai ....aap sharmate kyo ho foodie baan ne se.....i dont think foodie has to like all kind of food! I think a foodie would just have a mindset like yours towards food! You know it how its related with us in so many aspects....and well everybody have their own likes and dislikes.....
Not many ppl would come up with so many things when talked about food!!

...something which I would not bother to eat if I did not have to.
...what constructs the me-engine as well as drives it.
...a problem for vegetarians who live amongst non-vegs
...cause of death of other living beings
...exorbitantly priced in 'top restaurants'
...what you are, because you are what you eat.
...what you are for cannibals.
...what I need to go and have now so will come back later.
Food is...
(now read above comment)
Food is
... The lunch box we used to take in the school
.... The mess ka khana which I always skipped
.... Roadside dhabas
.... Domino's Pizza
This is how the definition of food (specially lunch) has changed over years for me...
food woh magic cheez hai jiske keval soch se shayad hum puri ki tarah phul jate hai..
jisko sungne se hi hum 2 kilo wazan aur zyada badha lete hai..
jisko khane se to poocho hi mut...:)
I cant believ it..

Well, I think a foodie has to have interest in food, which I don't really have. :)
//ofcourse it doesnt work when you are the only person whoz gonna eat that food!
Yeah, that sucks bigtime! :/
//if you would've been writing some column in some magazine i would buy that magazine just to read that column....

Swathy,
Wah wah! What poetic expression, food will be damn happy to hear that. :P
#Shantanu,
Hey, welcome (formal one) to the bar! Glad you like the flavours. Yes, I do it for a living (I write books for kids in the weekends), but I write boring curriculum stuff. Kids don't like me. :|
#VIDYA,
Hey hey! So there's one more capital-letter Vidya in the bar! Welcome welcome! Thanks for commenting. :)
Hmm.
I used to each eggs chicken etc cos mother does. Father vegetarian.
I even had some bakra (I think) meat at a Muslim friend's house in school. But turned 'vegetarian' since 10-15 years. Don't eat any exclusive non-veg item.
(Which does not mean I eat only cake which is eggless ;) )
