As I grow old and experience different kinds of tastes through home cooking, restaurants we visit and the food given by our close friends, neighbors and relatives, I have learned to appreciate a lot and even find some of them addictive. Like when you started to eat it, you won’t stop until it’s gone. The craving that needs to be satisfied!
A good example is Ice cream, is a sweetened frozen food typically eaten as a snack or dessert. It may be made from dairy milk or cream and is flavored with a sweetener, either sugar or an alternative, and any spice, such as cocoa or vanilla. According to Wikipedia, its history may have started from The Roman EmperorNero (37–68 AD) had ice brought from the mountains and combined it with fruit toppings to create chilled delicacies.
Another one of my favorite is Chocolates, is a usually sweet, brown food preparation of roasted and ground cacao seeds that is made in the form of a liquid, paste, or in a block, or used as a flavoring ingredient in other foods. According to Wikipidea, the earliest evidence of use traces to the Olmecs (modern day Mexico), with evidence of chocolate beverages dating to 1900 BC. The majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs. The word “chocolate” is derived from the Classical Nahuatl word chocolātl.
Another is French fries, they are served hot, either soft or crispy, and are generally eaten as part of lunch or dinner or by themselves as a snack. They are usually salted or served with ketchup, mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or other local specialties.
We know very well these are common foods, but we still love to eat them. We think a lot about these foods because of their incredible tastes and unforgettable after flavors. There’s this time where I was scrolling through my social media and suddenly thought about eating an ice cream, I couldn’t help but feel hungry until I satisfy my cravings. We all know that I am not the only one who’s like this! I bet you are too. These foods can make us crazy if we’re not going to get one until the end of the day. The satisfaction it provides us. Probably this is also why we get fat and unhealthy. But for now, I hope you get some history about some of our favorite food. Wondering if you can add some of your cravings.
