Food. Such a simple word to describe the greatest thing ever gifted to mankind by the universe. It has the power to build or break countries, to cause pleasure and to bring even the strongest man to his knees. The Italian language doesn't even have a word for food; Italians describe each food item individually, the way you would address a loved family member by name.
Some people love food more than other people do. Some people love food more than they love people. Here are 11 signs that you are one of these individuals and that your true soulmate is food.
1. Food > Everything Else.
You talk about food non-stop. Your conversations are 80% food, 20% everything else. All conversation comes back to food. You are used to seeing the eyes roll as you derail a conversation mid-sentence to blurt out some random food related thought.
2. Delicious food makes your tongue stumble and your toes curl.
As a true foodie, you will recognize this facial expression, as it probably crosses your face several times a week. Eating is a sensual experience, and sometimes your friends don't get that.
3. You know that chocolate is its own food group.
Need I say more?
4. You don't share food well.
Your friends know better than to eat your food without permission. And heaven help the one who buys the wrong food for you. "I said a 20 piece McNugget, not a six!"
5. Mac and Cheese is actual heaven for you.
As in, those 'pearly gates' are made of mac and cheese, not precious jewels. The clouds are probably mashed potatoes and sunshine is melted butter. You're drooling now. It's OK.
6. Pizza is life.
All you care about is pizza and, like, one other person. Your t-shirt says it, so it's true. And you come running like a cat to catnip when the holy word is whispered.
7. Pizza is so good it ranks twice on your most important foods list.
And fitness is a real struggle for you. The desire to be fit or achieve your perfect body rarely outweighs your desire for food. You literally work out just so you can continue stuffing your face on a daily basis.
8.You love food.
9. You love food more than you love people.
Food understands you. Food is beautiful. In fact, most of the pictures in your phone are of food. People ask if your significant other really exists because you have trouble producing a photo of them on demand.
10. You NEVER miss a meal if you can help it.
Just, no. Nope. That's your reaction when your friends try to make plans during meal time hours. No, you don't want to run errands before dinner. It can wait; your tummy can't.
11. You're ALWAYS hungry. Always.
No matter what, you will always be hungry. After meals, while at work, between meals, while at class, while eating, while sleeping. Hanger is a real (and frequent) emotion for you. Oh, and you probably dream about food on a regular basis.
Food soulmates are the best. Truly. Bon Appetit!
