FOOD. I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTT

I am a food snob. Don't take it the wrong way, I just grew up like that. My father was the head chef, and owner of a restaurant. He is an amazing man, we won't get into that now. But he is an amazing cook as well, I mean amazing. So growing up, we never had gross family KFC or any of that bullshit. When we went out to eat, we didn't go to Chili's, or something plain, NOT fresh, and shitty like that. It just didn't happen. We either had amazing meals at home, or went out to quality restaurants. And every type of food there was, I ate. I can say, when I was younger, I wasn't that interested in Japanese food, the word Thai just scared me. But I truly thank them for opening my eyes at an early age so that I now know, and even feel a little cultured here (haha).
People often ask me what my favorite food is. That's because I am normally stuffing my face. I don't really have an answer, I eat EVERYTHING. I love Japanese food, I am Italian, thats a given type of food but ya know. I love Thai food, Vietnamese food, and Indian food. I will try anything. German seems strange but I've had some, very little. The whole wurst thing doesn't really tickle my fancy. So normally I reply, sushi, because I can eat it every, every day. I guarantee 50 of you just said ew, 3 of you just threwup a little in your mouth, and 5 of you are horny. But of those who were disgusted, my guess is that you have never ever had sushi, and you probably won't ever give it a whirl. This baffles me. What is it that makes the thought of raw, well prepared fish disgusting? Think about your steak. The cows are fed growth hormones and packed together on these farms, so they are grown larger than they should be, because size = profit. Plain and simple. They are maliciously slaughtered and picked apart and shipped to your local butcher, or restaurant (probably frozen) From there you have some child handling the food with little if any care and so it goes to your mouth. The sushi on the other hand, arrives fresh, is only fresh that day, and cared for with the upmost, to ensure the quality of it all. But for some reason, you all ew. Raw, how gross. Vegetables are raw, they were once living. I bet you don't squirm at the thought of an orange, so why fish? Because they were moving? Because you are ignorant, and the first thing that comes to mind is that it is squirmy or slimy or anything like that? Come on now. First off, not all sushi is raw. Eel, for example, is cooked thoroughly and topped with a delicious sauce- go figure. Other forms are poached because no one wants it raw. But believe me when I tell you, nothing is more delicious than a raw piece of tuna, or salmon, or scallop mmmmm. Meat on the other hand, has a whole bunch of things you have to worry about, so you can't eat it raw- doesn't that make eating the fish... safer, and better for you? Go figure.

Anywho, I lost track. I hate people that ew sushi for no god damn reason. And then you make someone try it, and they say, oh wow, it isn't that bad. And there goes the ignorance, out the door. Just how I like it.

What I forgot to add, when saying what I look for in a woman, is her eating habits. I will eat all types of food, all the time. That's just how it is. If she is stuck in her ways and likes french fries and meatloaf, only... it may not work. Unless she is willing to try new things. That seems to be a lot to ask of some people, which is funny in a way. But none the less, that is who I am, and how I am. I love all food, I love it for the taste, texture, smell, appearance, and presentation. It is something we spend so much of our day worrying about, figuring out, preparing, doing, and spending money on- why keep it so narrow minded?

So what if the girl tried everything and still didn't like it? I try lots of things and only sometimes I do like them, but most of the time I don't.
