Attack of the hungry pig friends
“Are you gonna eat that?” I looked at my plate and the drool ridden fork had already been thrusted into the beef I was going to devour. I looked at the friend sitting next to me, who was basically attacking my food. “Are you going to eat that?” she asked again. My old friends can eat anytime without even asking me, yet this friend is sparkling brand new with a lot of bad credit history in my books. Her DNA had already been blended into my food, so I said with a deep sigh “Yeaaahhhh.”
She took the beef and started working on my plate for a few seconds. She ate, she chomped and she almost had hiccups. She had food falling from her mouth, her plate, her clothes. She ate like a pig. Seriously. Now here’s the really interesting part; I asked her how much she weighed while this was all happening, and she said “115 lbs.” She is really slim, so I’m not sure where all the food goes. I eat like a pig sometimes out of my own plate, and I still gain weight.
Do you have friends like that? Have you ever had people who think they are your husbands or wives and they jump into your food world anytime they wish, yet you can’t get close to them in any manner even if you wanted to? What do you think the boundaries of new friendships should be when it comes to personal things and privacy, and something like food? Do you know anyone who eats more than the occupants of a horse stable and is still slim?
Here’s a picture of what I was eating on March 30th, 2006, at a supposed Sushi buffet in downtown San Francisco. This was my round # 3, and I still went for more food afterwards. I love attacking my own plate, usually when I’m alone. The soup was supposedly Thai, though it tasted like it was from the Walmart canned soup section. The fried rice and the chicken was delicious, though. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Hmm… That story seems familiar, about the food sharing thing… But no, I don’t have friends like that.
Anyways… Wow, the fried rice and chicken does look good! But it looks like I’ve eaten something like that before though, since I am Asian. Hehehe.

Man that’s disgusting.
However, I don’t know that this should even be appropriate in a husband-wife relationship. It drives me crazy when S drinks his soda (while in the car) right down then starts on mine. If there’s something to drink there, he just can’t leave it alone until it’s gone and I typically am not finished with it before he starts on it.

Yeah, it was pretty disgusting on some levels, if not all. :p
Hmmm, that’s interesting about it being appropriate or not in a husband-wife relationship. I’m guessing on that level, the level of trust and comfortableness results in that happening? Not sure.
I’ve stopped going out with that specific friend; she can attack someone else’s plate from now on.
