wheeeeere did this idea that slurping is a way to show that you enjoy the food come from... especially in the context of japan? what
#like i just can't imagine it. if you're in a fancy ass restaurant then you're probably sitting in your seat and the chefs are in the kitchen#you're gonna slurp into a megaphone to let them Hear Your Appreciation?#if you're in ichiran then the only time the staff interacts with you is when they serve you your food or take your order slip.#and if you're eating in a ramen shop during lunchtime then you slurp because this shit is HOT and air helps cool the noodles down#and you have to hurry up because there's a bunch of people outside waiting for your seat.#it's polite to slurp in japan! it's polite to burp in china!#well when i was a kid i watched an american movie where a family farted a lot and everyone laughed so i guess it's an american custom#to fart at the table to show that you feel comfortable with people surrounding you and that you consider them important to you!#christ alive.#shrimp thoughts
