One of the first things that comes to mind when a suggestion is made that a trip to the local restaurant wouldn’t be a bad idea is that eating out is a convenient time saver. No need to cut up onions, tomatoes and garlic, no par-boiling of chicken pieces, or frolicking with marinade, and definitely no setting of tables and stockpiles of dishes to wash!! It is clear as day, eating out does literally take a huge chunk out of the arduous tasks of micro-managing the kitchen, better still if you work long hours and hardly have enough sleep time, let alone the time to cook. Fair and fine, the pros somewhat outweigh the cons. However, there is more to it than that meets the eye. Join me as we take to demystifying the reasons to eat out.
Even Taste Buds want a piece of the action too.
You may not have realised this by now, but it is true. The taste buds have such a heightened sense of taste that goes beyond what you may simply describe as ‘it tastes fabulous’. In fact, the reason why certain foods taste so magically different is because you just haven’t had your taste buds stimulated in that way. If you look at it from the perspective that what makes food different is not just its form, nature and composition, but also that your taste buds interpret it differently and give it a particular meaning to you, you will begin to enjoy variety in your diet in ways you never thought imaginable. That’s the glory of eating at a restaurant or hotel. Different recipes give a certain flair to menu items that are brought together in ways you would never think of, that is the true beauty of the eccentric master chef.
Catch a Whiff Of New Company
Eating out is an excellent way to meet new people. How often do people mention how they met at a restaurant, a take-out, or even when queuing up at a buffet, think about it? Spilling someone’s drink by mistake or getting an incorrect order can eventually lead to a life-long friendship. So if you’re struggling to meet new people then maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to drop the indoor meals and eat out.
Parties, Ceremonies and Farewells
What better way to put your main focus on guests gathered at parties, farewells and ceremonies than to let waiters and waitresses handle that. At times we can get so caught up in the frenzy of organizing a perfect gathering that we never actually get the opportunity to mingle and catch up on chit chat.
A Passing Note On Unique Tastes
In as much as we should attach immense value to good reasons to eat out, there is also the risk of being exposed to allergic reactions triggered by a chef’s inadvertent inclusion of a genuinely intriguing herb or spice in a dish. You might also struggle to order if you are allergic to a number of foods. So at the end of it all it’s simply a matter of different strokes for different folks and whatever tickles the taste buds of your fancies.
