Food and Emotions


I have a lot of memories with food. the most apparent one is Bob Chinn's Seafood and Steak House. Every time we go there it is either my birthday or my brother or I go off to college. It has some of the best seafood in Chicago. It has one of the most elaborate salad bars I have every seen. This is one of the few times when my family actually gets together with each other because of how busy we all are. I feel like these writing have a very good point because most people have emotional ties with meals. Whether it is someone who it is someone who eats a whole tub of ice cream after a rough day, or someone who just had a hard work out some people like to eat as much as they can. It is also true that people can connect food to a person. For me, I connect chop suey with my great grand mother. She always used to say that I am chop suey when I would do something wrong, which was fairly often. She was the first death that I went through in my life, which makes it one of the most memorable foods. I think both of these authors make very good points because people make a lot different connections with food, whether or not it is positive or negative. Food makes a lot of memories with me, like I will connect the caesar salad that I'm currently eating with this blog I am writing.
