We talk about food soo much in our teacher's lounge every day. Just today we talked about my pizza slice for a good 15 minutes.
They asked me where i got my pizza, then i didn't know the name of it so i told them about where it was, then someone figured it out, then someone talked about how they were afraid to go in their because it looked dirty, then we talked about whether we take it to go or if we eat there, then we talked about the owner, then how long they have been open, then went back and talked about how you get there, then if we could possibly get it catered, one teacher said that she thinks that is where she'll be getting her dinner this week, then it went to what type of pizza i had. i had a gyro pizza so we talked about lamb meat, then we talked about the spinach sausage pizza that place had. then we tried to find a day that maybe we could get it delivered to the school or someone could get their class watched and then go get the pizza themselves. then we talked about how slow the service is sometimes since there's only one guy who does the serving, the register, AND he cooks the pizzas in the back. he's a buzy little guy. then we actually talked about the crust at this place because someone had just told a story about a pizza with really hard crust and how they didn't take any money off for it.
We talk about food everyday like this. the questions where did you get your food always starts it. if someone made it we talk about how they made it and what is the recipe and if someone makes something similar they say how they do it. then if it's just a lean cuisine or a frozen thing we even talk about which meals are good and what they put in them and how long we heated it up. then if it's from a restaurant we talk about where the restaurant is, what the food was like, whether other people have been there, who'd you go with.
everyone eats, and i guess it is something we all have in common. if in doubt, talk about food!

one thing I don't like is when people say "that is so gross" or "ew" about your food. like the other day I was eating my favorite food in the entire world, sweet potatoes. and someone made a face. and i just wanted to be like shut up, you don't have to like them. it makes eating them less enjoyable.
I also have had people comment on how many calories what I'm eating is, which is definitely not good.
im an "ew" culprit. when the girl next to me at work eats tuna, i automatically crinkle my face because i HATE the smell. she also brings salmon for lunch and SARDINES! so there is a lot of "ew" going on at my desk. if it is something innocent like sweet potatoes - dont comment. but if it is food that invades your space b/c of the smell... i say something :) haha
ok true story - i just had a similar experince like your pizza one in our lunch room, but with thanksgiving food...we talked about everything from stuffing, to dressing, to dumplings! who eats dumpling on thanksgiving? i agree jess - with your comment. there is a distinct difference between tuna and sweet potatoes :)
Thanks for sharing how the whole lunch period progressed, Jodi! I appreciate the details... it's much more interesting. By the way... do you remember where the pizza was from now? :)
Kip always tells me how bad what I am eating is for me.... and it drives me crazy!
Kip does do that all of the time! Kip, if you are reading this, stop telling us how bad the food is WHILE we are eating it. we know it's bad for us haha.
