Meeting means Eating

Any plans for the weekend? You could go to have lunch out with friends, or to have dinner in a new and exotic restaurant! Any plan for a rainy night? What about going to a friend’s house with your group, eat together and watch a film with popcorn?
Meeting with people to eat is very normal in our lives, it is a very good resource for any occasion or the perfect excuse to have fun!


Most of the important events are accompanied with food. A good example is a wedding, where the couple chooses the best dishes and sometimes very original, preceded by starters and followed by a dessert. Lately it is very normal that in the celebration there is food during the whole day or night.
There are similar celebrations where many guests are attending and the dishes are very important too, such as the first communion or the baptism.


But not only in celebrations we think of food, but also in meetings for example. Political meetings will have more attendants if they offer some food and wine. It is very typical that they do it to attract people, as in politic meetings as in any kind of lecture or talk, or to inaugurate something. It seems that offering food they will be more successful.

We also have celebrations where we meet our family and friends to eat, for example in festivals, like on Christmas’ Eve or Christmas, on New Year’s Eve or New Year, on Thanksgiving or in any typical festival in any country. Also to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, that someone has got a job or the end of exams (whether if we have passed or not!)
We also have meetings to eat with workmates, classmates, old friends to keep us updated…

We would also invite people to eat for different reasons: to thank them something, to surprise them or to try to get off with someone.
Another typical thing is to buy food, sweets or chocolates to people for some of the same reasons I have mentioned before but also to friends when they feel bad or to visit ill people with some delicious food to make their days a little better.
As you can see food is present all the time in our everyday life and almost most of the times meeting becomes eating!
