Lovely Meal

An essay I wrote a long time ago

“Love is a meal.” That quotation was the basis for every love story I watch or ever read but in personal experience I don’t even have anything to say I can agree with it. Whenever I go to a local McDonald’s joint and order their signature chicken burger with an ice cold coke and complimented by large fries. I always stare at it for a few minutes before I eat. 

I imagined the live chicken running for its life only to be caught and beheaded. Then it’ll be sold in the local market for a couple of bucks. The chef will probably slice it with a nice slender knife through its meat and roll it in breading powder then deep fried with boiling oil. Where was the love in that? 

The poor chicken will then be placed between two pieces of bread bathed with the bloodlike substance called ketchup and white mayonnaise. It’ll then be covered with a blanket of lettuce and to finish it off it will be wrapped in a paper with the trademark McDonalds on it. It is now served to the customer with a coke beside it and a high amount of potato slices deep fried. I still didn’t see the love in that. 

But at the moment I bite into the cholesterol filled sandwich and again there is this addicting taste that makes me bite into it again. Just imagine the sweet balance of the chicken’s crispiness with the lettuce and the taste of the mayonnaise and ketchup afterwards dancing on your taste buds. 

Perhaps the love is there? Or maybe it’s still another question filled metaphor? So in the end I may have or have not described love but all I know is that I’ll never look at a sandwich normally, ever. 

Author's Note

The picture isn't appropriate since that is a crepe and I'm talking about a chicken. That's way off. Sorry but it's impulsive P:

I wrote this one day, when my teacher asked us to write an essay and sure I wrote it then as I was writing it I had the urge to... eat.
