It's five Oçlock...
See that little C there...I couldn't have done that if I tried...and yet it is there! Where did it come from? What does it mean? But, this is all besides the point of the post...
It's five O'clock here in Holland (see, I couldn't get it there a second time...not matter what I tried) and it's about time to drive home.
I have nobody else to worry about, so I can eat what I want!! A rare, but certainly uber-position to be in.
I'm pondering if I should go for schnitzels. They're fillets of pork in bread crumbs...and they are absolutely gorgeous with wild mushrooms!
Or, if I should go for Cordon Bleu's. They're chicken fillets, wrapped around ham and cheese. Absolutely cracking!
Now, obviously I'll be gone by the time you could give me advice, but what I am interested in is how you determine what you are going to eat when the choice before you is, well, basically everything.
It's like when I go to a restaurant. So much choice and I find it very difficult to choose. So, I sort of meditate and see where my taste buds lead me. Usually to no prevail and I eventually end up just choosing a random meal.
Are you supposed to know what you want before you go into the restaurant?
See. I know that you probably find this about as interesting as an in grown toe-nail, but bare with me a second...
Say I go for the schnitzels and as I'm cooking them decide that I really would have preferred the Cordon Bleu? What then? Or a steak.
You know, sometimes when you smell food cooking you suddenly go off it? It can happen!
Would anybody throw the schnitzel out and pop out to the supermarket to get something else instead? Anyone?
I really feel like Ben and Jerries strawberry cheesecake ice cream as well.
Why do nice foods make you fat and horrible, ugly foods like cabbages are good for you?
How unfair is that?

Your question is interesting Shav. I've never really considered it before. Exactly how and why do we choose the foods we choose? Is it more than just the memory of taste? Is it the anticipation of a particular taste? Is it a societal influence? Peer pressure? Perhaps it's the hand of GOD?!?!
I'm going to eat lunch in about a half an hour and now I have no idea what to have. I've got "analysis paralysis" thanks to you! 🙂
I always go into a restaurant thinking that I'll try something I haven't had there before. 99% of the time I end up ordering "the usual" though.
Sometimes while cooking at home I'll see something in the fridge or freezer halfway through and think, oh, that would have been so much better- but I still eat what I was originally making.
