Does anyone else get quite easily influenced when seeing food and wanting it. Even if you’re not hungry? I really need to stop looking at food on Instagram 😅 I have new food cravings almost every night. So easy to look at food and go down a rabbit hole on Instagram. Tonight I have a hankering for Xiaolong bao (dumpling soup)
More than you'll ever know. If I'm at a restaurant and the wait staff come out carrying a plate, my eyes follow that plate all the way to the table even if it's not mine.
Food envy.
I don't know if it's envy. I'm usually very happy with my careful selection but I do tend to go "Oooo looook at thaaat" as it floats past me.
Omg are you me? I am the exact same. Sometimes I would make a note, next time (if there’s a next time) that’s what I’ll order 🤣
I peruse the menu in advance so I don't waste time when I'm there. 😂
I’m almost certain we are one person. I do the same. I research stuff online first
Edit: I used to write bullet points in the notes section of iPhone with name of restaurant and address. Then go there and say whether it’s worth returning or not. Not a full review or anything
Still have places I haven’t visited, places that closed down and new places looked at recently
Haha. This makes me very happy.
Me as well. I thought I was just this unusual person. But sometimes for me if I know a place does good food, I like to go back. Some become regular places for me 🤷♀️
I ask friends to bring back menus from overseas so I can try to recreate dishes. 🤷♀️
Ooo that’s genius
I'm thinking about grilled chicken. Village style (freshly slaughtered minutes before and then cooked over a wood fire) and consumed with white rice.
Absolutely craving it right now after thinking about food thanks to your post. XD
Replace chicken with fish and I’m right there
