I'm not talking about a sandwich or pizza. Balling up sticky rice and scooping up a bite of Som Tum. Tearing off the tail of a crawfish and pressing just right on the end to push out the meat. Heck, even stripping every bit of flesh off a bone-in chicken wing.
It's a ritual that slows and forces appreciation for the food.
you need to eat
with your hands
to taste life
you need to touch life
you need to tear it apart
get to the very middle
get to the heart
feel it beat
understand when it rushes
and when it slows
understand when it says stop
and when it says go
you need to eat with your hands
to love
life
to
know.

10/10 ⭐️
I like struggling to open the container as I juggle my other grocery bags and then ripping a leg off, leaning over, and letting the juice drip onto the pavement as I gorge myself in front of anyone who might be watching. 9/10 ⭐️
