Childhood Memory of Eating with Someone
Going back 18 years, I remember being in Guatemala with my grandmother. It was breakfast time and she prepared a traditional breakfast which included fried plantains, refried beans, and fried pastries called "fritas". I think for me it was definitely a very ecstatic place,tasting all the wonderful traditional greasy foods. Being 5 years old at the time, it was more about having fun, and being allowed to eat sweets for breakfast was obviously a plus. After being warned not to eat too many plantains (especially because I put sugar on them)I ate them anyway. I projectile vomited on the kitchen table! You would think that stopped me. After recovering that day, I sneaked into the kitchen and ate some more that night, and didn't get caught.

How COOL is that??? The food sounds absolutely delicious, AND you were able to eat sweets for breakfast!!! I know that HAD to be great being 5 years old...I bet the projectile vomit was hilarious also..haha!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to admit that it all sounded delicious and wonderful until the whole projectile vomiting piece. GROSS! Your poor grandmother who had to clean it up! =0) I am impressed at your tenacity at such an early age (with going back for more). My own, almost 5 yr. old daughter would definitely NOT do that. =0) I can hardly get her to remember to eat the things she does like!
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy. I was able to relate with you when you were told not to eat but yet did any way. It seems I have the same bad tendency as you.
ReplyDeleteI can very well understand your sentence,being able to eat sweets in breakfast.I remember my self putting sugar on my egg to make it sweet.My mom never let me eat sweet things in morning so I most of the time sneaked into the kitchen after her and put sugar in whatever i was eating in breakfast.Golden days.........
ReplyDeletewow plantains I love them people just don't understand i love to eat them with beans and rice and brown stewed chicken i guess having some island descent really helps out you, you become introduced to all sorts of things ..lol
