I just happened to grow up this way…it’s not something I was taught… but when it comes to my food preferences…epicurean I am not. Some people like to separate their food…they think that’s the way it taste great… I approach this from a different angle…I mix everything on my plate. I don’t know how to explain it but to me a meal isn’t splendid until all the food groups set before me have come together and been blended. I have a friend, he is a food critic, who thinks most meals I disgrace… I only know when I mix everything together…I love the way it tastes. I love the way the colors blend but what I truly savor is how, with every bite, I get a different blended flavor. Deborah says it’s like feeding a dog but I am not subdued I mean…show me any dog out there who doesn’t love their food! Again I can’t explain it but to me it’s easily comprehended and I make no apologies for loving food that’s all been blended… I don’t expect everyone in the world to eat their food this way (that would be nothing short of rude) but I do think it would be wonderful if everyone in the world blended together…as easily as my food?
