What Food Would You Say Is Your Specialty

What food would you say is your specialty?

When I was young, my Mom told me some people live to eat, while others eat to live.

Being an introvert, long ass meals are tedious for me. I just need something to fill up my stomach.

I also worked in an Italian restaurant that had real food based on recipes that came from the Mother Country, not just pasta.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve attended the three-hour business lunches in France, which often featured exquisite food. I’ve also gone hunting at 3 in the morning, and ridden in many 100-mile bike races that started at sunrise. I’d have to cram as much food as I could in the shortest amount of time, as I was on a deadline.

I know the difference between 5-star food, and reheated chicken and rice in the dark hours of the morning. I just need a proper meal (not fast food or processed) to get me to the next meal.

I bet some readers served in the military who ate some awful stuff, yet survived.

In contrast, my brother-in-law was the president of Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and was obese for a good part of his life. He lived to eat and has failed at every diet and/or weight loss plan that exists. He now has health problems I saw coming decades ago. He also got the COVID-19 jab and has symptoms from that.

One last thing, I never miss the Hot Dog eating contest on July 4th. I’ve been a fan since Kobayashi was transforming the “sport”.
