STEP RIGHT UP, FOLKS, LET THE SUPER AMAZING FOODIE NAME ASSOCIATION LADY GIVE YOU THE FOOD WITH WHICH YOU ARE LINKED TO THE UNIVERSE!! DON'T LET THIS CHANCE PASS YOU BY!!
Back to reality....I'm currently reading a *book by Aimee Bender called "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake" which I find to be truly enjoyable. It is told from the perspective of a 9-year old girl who upon waking up one morning finds that she can taste the emotion one was feeling through the foods they create. I think it's a brilliant concept and as my mother and I were discussing the book this morning, she said she has a similar, but not-so-similar, food quirk. When she hears a person's name, she automatically associates the name with a food. She does not choose the food, the food chooses it. She explained that sometimes the reason her brain makes the association is obvious (similar consonant/vowel combinations or repetitions), and others have no other correlation whatsoever. Here is a list of her name/food associations. Comment below and tell me YOUR odd foodie quirk! Also, if you don't see your name, leave a comment and the Super Amazing Foodie Name Association Lady will grant you with YOUR special food.
