In praise of how beautifully the author nuanced his relationship with his father, this piece is the equivalent of a gastronomical delight—just for my brain!
Thanks a lot Harshita. Grateful to Samarth, Jaanvi, and Truth Be Told for allowing me to get this off my chest (or shall I say teeth?). Also to my parents for teaching me to value food. If there's one parenting lesson I'd love to transfer to my child, that'd be it.
Several psychological issues peeped out of this article as we read about mastication. Staying on the topic, it also matters what you're eating (meats require more chewing), spice tolerance (gulping the spicy), competition for helpings (scarcity), family habits and patience of elders!
Damn I feel guilty ! When I came to stay with my husband after marriage, I couldn’t keep up his habit of eating food slowly sometimes over an hour. It caused me so much irritation that I delayed serving him food until he was very hungry. Over the course of fifteen years, I turned him in ‘Gobbler’ , altered his lean physique and now he just can’t stop eating because he never feels satiated. Could I reverse him back , just wondering !!
