Food....Food......and only Food !!!

“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” -
George Bernard Shaw

Are you on a diet? Do you feel guilty when you consume a food that's not within the confines of your diet, such as foods high in fat, calories, sugar, carbohydrates, etc? When you decide to splurge do you have trouble enjoying a forbidden food for fear of what it may be doing to your waistline or your health? If you've answered yes to any of these questions then it’s time for a change. Eating, one of life's most simple and basic pleasures has been transformed into a daily agony. Additionally, why should we deprive our-self of certain gastronomic pleasures in order to appease our oppressive internal master. Why should we carry our self-depriving and guilt-laden proclivities into life and its other venues? On the contrary, I would suggest that a person must invert the food guide pyramid and laugh on the face of death. In fact, become a gluttonous individual who eats whatever he/she likes and unfettered by Puritanical trappings. The only pangs must be of hunger and not guilt. Food is to be brazenly enjoyed. Savour a wide variety of foods without having any issues with your own psyche.

There’s a saying that we must have food only sufficient for our living. But, rather it should be the other way around, i.e. we should live to have food !! I just remember me having a conversation with a friend of mine regarding suicides among the young people. She was wondering that how can one commit suicide because she was of the opinion that if someone places a platter of Kebabs in front of her then she would surely put off her suicide mission and savour the kebabs. And, on the other hand the very thought of having a sumptuous meal will always make me elude a suicide attempt!! Cultures all around the world and through the ages have developed their own style and form of cuisines. We must respect their efforts in treating the varied taste requirements of the human tongue. Welcome to a blog for the voracious food lovers. Let’s talk only about food, the way it is prepared, the places it is served and the way one must enjoy it.
