“Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity.”
~Jonathan Safran Foer~
Steak and potatoes are culture
Smoky, charred, creamy and pure
Eaten by a hungry human vulture
Chocolate is serious habit
That demands a daily hit
or she shall have a crying fit
Mac and cheese is a bowl of craving
This affliction needs saving
Of thee melty cheddar we sing
Food is part of our identity
We consume pancakes with glee
To eat, to drink, to be
Irrational is thy food
Elevates our mood
Deliriously tasty good

Yum, that looks delicious. Now I’m suddenly hungry.
Me too, Shelley, although I did go out to dinner last night and had delicious beef short ribs and more mashed taters. Can’t get enough of the taters…
You about covered it! 🙂
Which reminds me, I should have mentioned gravy…
You started out strong and added in all the right ingredients. It’s 8:00 am and I am hungry. Potatoes must soon be mashed. And all things cheese and chocolate should be added to the mix.
Hmmmm….potatoes, cheese and chocolate. Put it all together on a plate and you might have the American version of poutine. Only better…
Much better.
My wife and daughter are vegetarians. My son and I are not. Your photo demonstrates why I will never give up being a meat-eater. To not want a taste of that steak is totally irrational.
I’m with you. As much as I love vegetables and will also eat veggie burgers, I could not totally give up meat. It’s just too good.
I’m hungry now! I wasn’t until I read this! 😀
Go eat something! 😀
I did… I pinched one of hubby’s dark chocolate cupcakes. Don’t tell him. I don’t think he’ll notice 😉
Mum’s the word! 😉
Rational or irrational, it looks like it tastes good.
The steak I had at Texas Roadhouse was so yummy…maybe because I hadn’t had steak in a while or maybe because it really was that good. Rationally speaking, of course! 😉
😛 Yes. All that!
Red Lobster has been making me crazy with their ad for lobster mac and cheese. My tummy says NO dairy, while my cravings say JUST DO IT. I’m trying to decide who to listen to.
Aw, this is sad. I understand. The other day, my hairdresser told a story about a woman who’s allergic to chocolate, and a couple of times a year, she just sucks it up and gives herself a shot. So sad.
Moo’s got more allergies to the food color than I do, and now and again, she takes the plunge as well.
Being human. It’s sad sometimes.
I think I could give up chocolate before cheese. Cheese is multi-purpose and always a good food choice. Mmmmm – cheeeeeese.
Sorry – what were you talking about again … ?
I don’t know, I was busy thinking about cheese…
Oh yummm. Taters and cheese….
