6 THINGS THAT ARE TOO ASOCIAL TO EAT IN PUBLIC

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: Eating in public

Wieke: “McDonald's can only be eaten in the Mac because it stinks so much (and I automatically crave the Mac then…). Stinky fish is really not okay either, and the same goes for things you have to gnaw on. Just don’t.”

Sharon: “Do you remember the pre-face mask era in public transport? And then there was someone sitting next to you who casually started devouring a tuna salad sandwich?! Hell. A tuna salad sandwich should really only be eaten in your own living room. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but it smells like cat food and yes, that’s how you smell out of your mouth after eating it. That said: have you ever put a few pieces of (sweet) apple in your tuna salad? Really a top combo (for HOME)!”

Marcus: “Noodles, with chopsticks, slurping, shoveling them in, from a Wok to Go at the station, and then in an overcrowded train compartment. Horror! Eating in train compartments: too disgusting for words. Eating while everyone is watching? Do these people think they are unobserved or something?”

Lauretta: “Boiled eggs. Yuck. Don’t get me wrong, I love boiled eggs. But not the ones that have been in the pot just a bit too long, and the people who then decide to peel them, causing a nauseating sulfur smell to waft through the space.”

Delilah: “Fries with war sauce and onions! Mega gross. Just when you think you’ve claimed a nice quiet spot, someone suddenly sits down with a tray of fries in front of you, and you spend the rest of the journey in a peanut-onion haze. Secretly, I’m actually a bit jealous of people who dare to do this, especially if they also crack open a half-liter of beer with it.”

Sabina: “Red Bull. Because that smell: terrible. And especially in the train, because then you smell it throughout the entire compartment. It’s amazing how many people drink this in the morning. In the morning! Gag!”
