Okay, take it easy. You actually prove my point. Theyâre usually rebounds.
Itâs not advisable to get too wordy on a subject, especially with this being a food board. But itâs great when someone questions or disputes your opinion then you can expand.
My point is when you leave a long term relationship which was obviously taxing or you want freedom or whatever - you want to have fun, not get too serious. The obvious choice is someone younger. And yes, sometimes you marry that person. But statistically it rarely works out. Your references are different, youâre in different stages in life, the younger person changes as they grow. Most men I know who did this ended up marrying women closer to their age. I might get killed for this example, but my hubbyâs post divorce (pre-me) girlfriend was a fitness trainer in her 20s who barely spoke English. Sounds nice, right? But he wasnât dumb enough (yes I said dumb enough) to take it serious and neither was she (smart girl). However he blames me for that relationship because I wouldnât go out with him.
seems to me the truly dedicated will find a warthog rectum to consume. that episode along with his commentary made me a bourdain fan for life. later he revealed that that scene resulted in a massive intestinal infection requiring six weeks of antibiotics. ohhhhhh man.
I appreciated how he enjoyed meals in peopleâs homes or as part of the village celebration. He tried everything they offered because he understood that most dishes were delicacies that they wouldnât normally cook for themselvesâŚalways wanting to put their best foot forward for the cameras. He never turned anything down despite the consequences he or the crew might incur later. Thatâs a statesman for you.
One of the most memorable for me was a scene in, I think Baja. He watched with excitement as an iguana was butchered and transformed. Dutifully ate his portion of the home made tamale con iguana and mimed his appreciation to the lovely cook.
Later, out of earshot of the tamale maker, he said something like âWORSE thing Iâve ever put in my mouthâ!!! Regardless of liking or disliking the food, he was still all grace and genuine appreciation to his Mexican hosts.
i believe he described it at varying times as being either half-heartedly or indifferently cleaned. of course, you canât hear the tone of voice being used as he phrases it which ups the angst level by a geometric factor.
