The Tick Tock
Before I log out from work, I received a message from my mother. She wants me to come home because she cooked my favorite meal, bacon stuffed roast chicken with tartar sauce and buttered asparagus. Though the invitation was tempting I declined the offer. I have other plans that night. I will meet a girl, who had been my chat mate for a couple of months now. I will have dinner at her home. When I reached her home, I was starving, it was a three hour drive from the city.
I could smell the roast chicken and asparagus back at home with red wine, my mouth watered. When I was ushered in the dining table after meeting her parents, what I saw in the table almost made me swoon. Fried frogs, sauteed dog’s tail, buttered rats ear and bitter gourd juice for the drinks. I forgot her family loves exotic foods.
