Thank God for food

Do you ever get a craving for a food and it just won't go away? Some times I get the bigest craving for sushi.

Man I'll ever forget the first time I eat sushi. I was on a plane headed to Papua New Guinea from Singapore. The flight attendant woke me up and set a small little plastic plate like sectioned container, and a cup of instant noodles on my flip down tray-table. I looked at it and saw and thought to my self.

"This is weird food, but I'm hungry."

I knew exactly what the noodles were. The sectional plate however seemed to have a few slices of raw salmon and some sticky rice. I had some idea what it was but the idea of sushi was still so odd, and kinda gross to an 11 year old boy. Me being who I am though just had to try it.

At first I was like, yeah its kinda gross but something inside compeled me to continue to eat it. By the time I was finished with it I felt so accomplished that I wanted more of it. This of course was not a possibility at the time but ever since then I can't get enough sushi. Man good stuff that.

I really believe that opening my mind to different food really helped me to open my mind to other cultures and people that might otherwise seem strange and or undesirable. Thank God for food.

Just think if it weren't for that time eating sushi on the plane to PNG I might have never cared to meet different people. If it weren't for sushi and I might never have met Janine, my lovely Philippina girl friend. What fun would life be if I never met her?
