chow time!!
A friend and I are talking about eating stuff. So upon further discussion, here’s what we came up with and my answers are below. Please comment and add your own.
“How do you eat a burger?” (I generally work my way across, but not methodically like a typewriter or anything.)
“How do you put your burger down?” (I put my burger sesame-side down on the plate and pick it up underhanded so it’s sesame side up when it reaches my mouth.)
“How do you eat nachos?” (pre-brokeass days: evenly distribute toppings so the first bite is as tasty as the last. Now that I have reliable and reasonable income, I am not opposed to leaving naked chips behind, but I might dip em in salsa.)
“How do you peel the foil off of a burrito (the tacqueria “dry” kind, not on a plate)?” (I peel the foil off twice- once down as far as I can before containment is an issue, and then once I get there, down nearly to the bottom-just enough to hold on to.)
“How do you eat corn on the cob?” (I tend to spiral around and work my way around, provided I’m not in a hurry. If I am, I go across but in two-or three-bite wide swaths of buttery destruction.)
