My dear friends, rajsatta express if I were to ask
you, which part of your body you use to eat, what would you say? To be honest,
until quite recently, I would have considered this a stupid question. Which
other part of my body can I eat with if not my mouth?! Of course, I’m aware
that patients in hospitals sometimes need to be fed through a tube in a
nostril, or a needle in the arm. But those occasions are rare. For the most
part, we all eat only with
our mouths… don’t we?
And yet, as anyone who has ever watched a cooking
competition on TV, or posted a photograph of their favourite dish on social media, knows
very well, before food ever passes into our mouths, we often devour it first
with our eyes. Isn’t this
why the home-cooks on Master Chef are judged not just on culinary technique, but
also on plating skills? Not just on how their food tastes, but also on how it
looks? And don’t we all know what it feels like to salivate at the mere sight of a delicious bowl of
curry laksa, or chilli crab? All of which gives a whole new meaning to the
words, watching what we eat!
