Today's easily achievable pleasant moments: eating a packet of crisps (chips) Very Slowly.


I mean, taking about an hour to eat a 35g packet. Smallest bites possible, taking care when the crisp is bend double not to flake off large chunks. Enjoying every crisp initial bite. Letting each grain of salt melt. Waiting until no starchy traces from the previous bit remain, not even stuck in a back molar. Paying attention to every moment. Slow, slow, slow.

Note: technique also applies to eating good sliced salami, where you must let the individual circles of tasty fat dissolve.

Food is great.

Plus missed poll opportunity: favourite crisps.

I like letting skips melt slowly in my mouth.

And when the melty bits sort of pinch your tongue!

Salt and vinegar chipsticks, same principle (slow dissolution) but added buzz when you hit a really sharp bit.

Sounds nice by hulver (4.00 / 2) #4 Thu Nov 16, 2006 at 08:57:33 AM EST
I lack the patience to do that though.

Crush the whole packet into small pieces and pour them into my mouth, eat the entire packet in one go. I can manage that.

pour the packet into a bowl, pour a pint on top of it, mush it all up with a fork, then throw in some crushed peanuts and pork rinds, gobble it up. Total time: 3 minutes, then move on. It's the only way to do a pub crawl efficiently :)
