I have friends that love food a lot. They can not go an hour without munching on something.
I on the other hand, I am not all that into eating. Three square meals and I am okay. I don't need snacks. Just the food.
I have tasted a variety of food from different places. Some were amazing and others were really good.
Around last year, I was invited for a wedding in Abiriba, Abia state. My friends brother was wedding, and I was invited.
I was not all that free, but I had to reschedule my week because of my friend.
Two days to the wedding, I received a call from my friend who we will call Pete. Pete told me that he wanted me to attend the bachelor's night. Reluctantly, I agreed. Well, he is my friend and will do the same for me if I asked.
I got to the place in the evening. Met Pete and he was very happy to see me. We exchanged pleasantries. I went in to rest as the even has not yet started. After a while, I was called down by Pete. He took me to were the evet was organized and started introducing me to his other friends. Was really awkward. We had fun, drank wine, danced and enjoyed the night. Somebody brought browny to the table and everyone started eating. I thought it was a regular browny, so I ate with them. I took about two of it and I gulped it down with a glass of wine.
5 minutes later, I couldn't feel my legs. It was like I am entering a translike state. I asked Pete about the browny. He laughed and told me that it was baked with Marijuana and some other stuffs. I understood the situation. I told him to get me milk and sugar, which he did. I went back to the room, got plenty of water, mix with the milk and sugar and i drank alot of it. The effects of the browny reduced after a while. and I continued with the fun.
The day for the wedding reached. It was a lovely one yaknow. After the couples have been wedded in he church, we went to the event center. It was a good looking place. Different delicacies were sampled. The grooms family has money, so they made sure to bring many food. It was a serve yourself kind of thing.
Pete was there with me. We were going through what food to eat when he saw snails. He was immediately hyped up. He told me that he's taking the snail and encouraged me to do same.
Personally, I am not a fan of snail. I have heard quite a lot of how sweet ad nutritious it is. If I tell somebody that I don't eat snail, they begin to look at me with a kind of eye.
That faithful day, I decided to give it a try. I got the snail and told them to put a little rice for me. When I got the dish, I felt irritated by the sight of the snail. I looked at Pete and saw how halt he was with the dish, so I decided to give it a try anyways.
I ate the snail and felt very disappointed. The taste of it gave me the urge to puke. I drank some water to relax my stomach. I tried it again and the same thing happened so I left it.
Before now, I have heard some rumors of how snails eat shit. I have seen how slimy they can be.
I guess that's that reason I could not eat the food. Looking at Pete, he was devouring this dish. I couldn't help it but smile. "Another mans food is another man's poison" i said to myself as I went back to get something more edible.
Thank you for reading 😊
