Here i am again blogging to comfort myself that i do make a revision for the coming IELTS exam.
Thought of the day:
like today, i had a sudden contemplation and it freaked me out a little. How much time did i spend in year speaking English? Judging from the number of people in my circle of friends, 60% of them are from China.
Main Entry:
2 days ago, i came up with a new term the "shallow eater", "food non- adventurous" or "eating safe"
Ever went out with any friends and they just sticked with their only preference from the menu?
When you asked them, they just say they hardly ever get bored with it. If they have made a new choices, then they might end up suffering due to the new dish is not within the range of their liking.
i went out shopping with lumpy 2 days ago and we had dinner at this new restaurant somewhere boxhill. I was to tired to make any orderings as my legs were killing me resulted from 4 hours of walking. Thus i just threw the menu to lumpy and hope for the best.
the decision was ended up with chicken and bland noodles. I suggested a Taiwanese stinky tofu as a complementary for the boring decision, and lumpy was so scared of trying it and begged me not to order it. That was where i had the sudden epiphany.
If a person is so scared of trying new dishes, i couldn't help but wonder wouldn't the ODD behaviour like this will be reflected by his/her daily routine as well? bet certainly it does. For instance, if they only like certain dishes, as a result, they only go to that particular restaurant / hair salon / cinema / brothel /brand. And the daily lives will just continue to re-cycle that direction. Wouldn't they miss out so many interesting things that might be just a stone away from where they lived?
Inevitably, i also think they are just purely ignorant (probably minor selfish and coward) and just didn't acknowledge the existence of other (better) foods that created for them to try, i pity the chef.
i have another friend, lets call her yoyo. For the first few years when i know her, she was all about this chinese restaurant. The restaurant was the mecca of her lives and she probably will spend at least 3 times in a week having the infamous soggy , over dried ( juxtaposition i know, but that's the point, i don't even know ow they make it) dumplings and over bland dan dan noodles . It was until months ago then she was exposed to this new lanzhou noodle shop. And since that day she never mentioned the chinese restaurant anymore.
so, to fella readers who is dining conservatived (new word again), the world doesn't revolve just around that particular place you always go, if it does, what is the The Age Good Food Guide for?

oh believe me, i totally understand what you feel. i know a couple of boring eaters myself. very apprehensive of trying anything remotely new, they only order those safe boring dishes. very narrow palate.. think rice and chicken.
i happen to go out with this category of people often enough, i couldnt help but feel slightly agitated over their unwillingness to try other things.
i couldn't help but wonder..does their habit of just eating stuff they are familiar with extend to others aspects of their lives too? i couldn't help but wonder!
