It’s an old saying that if woman want to reach the heart of his beloved husband, path routes from stomach. Means delicious food makes man enriched in mood, love and affection. This normally increases his personality and in turn he in return loves his beloved wife so much.
I want to share an experience only yesterday I had. Our whole family was invited to a dinner. On return journey we were of the single opinion that the food was with out taste, though they prepared so many veg. dishes. The simple reason was that the food was just like boiled vegetables, almost no Salt, turmeric, Dhania, Garam Masala or red chilly. I simply asked if the host had pickles and by the way they had and put the pickle jar on dining table. We did not react regarding the deliciousness of the food but every one used very small quantity and I think after our dinner host would have understood the reason.
My son was irritated why I asked whether they had pickles. So topic ends here.
This event led me to express my views and suggestions to housewives who invite their guest on dinner. What ever preparations they had made, if they taste before serving, may let feel the guest to make a positive opinion regarding the meals offered.
Even many a times I do very much appreciate my wife for her delicious meal and many a time, I loose my temper for the tasteless food or excessive salt or almost no salt etc.
You will also find that many a times housewives do prepare food what ever they want but ignore the likings and taste of his husband. Suppose she had made some food which she think is prepared with so much love and she may have taken due care, but still complains other persons that her husband do not appreciate her preparations. She here forgets that he wanted to eat delicious chicken or mutton preparations or delicious egg curry and could not enjoy the dishes she prepared in the dinner or lunch.
My wife many a times complains that either I do not take her lunch box to my office or if I do take, get it returned to home without tasting even a single bite. The reason is quite natural. My office restaurant prepares delicious veg and non veg food taking full care of best combination of intakes as per dietician’s recommendations.
I do also want to cite the difference of a Hotel preparation and Home made preparation. Home made preparation, family members take it on regular basis but some times for a change want to enjoy delicious food of the best food point of the city. Chef of the restaurant is supposed to taste every preparation him/herself and then it is passed on to guest who pay handsome amount of the food. Here comes the earning thru the Hotel business but in homely environment, men pays love and regards to housewife, which is worth praising and bear great value full of emotional attachment.*Some people may argue that wives take better care of their ailing husband suffering from High BP, Diabetes. Yes I do agree but absence of salt, sweet and spices may also invite many physical disorder like salt is necessary for bones, red chilly is best germs killer and turmeric is also anti allergic, Mango Powder is also required for making necessary acid formation for food digestion, Ghee or Butter is also required to maintain lubrication for bone joints and so on.
Finally I want to sum up that tasteless food on dining table leads men to market to get fed up upto his satisfaction.
So take care ladies with dignity. *
