Random thoughts: What’s on your mind lately? Part 2

[urquell]

Dodo, I've gotta ask. You're clearly passionate about food, much more than you seem to be about mongering, and there's absolutely zero wrong with that, but I'm struggling to understand why all the food posts are being put on this board, a mongering board, and why you aren't exercising all of your gastronomic energy on a foodie board. You talk a lot about food, and you speak clearly and knowledgeably about all kinds of restaurants in all kinds of areas, and I'm inferring from this that good food is one of your great passions. Again, it's not a condemnation, but I'm genuinely curious why someone who posts so much, and so much about food, would you wouldn't choose to be bantering about it with a group of people who as an entirety are as passionate about it as you are. I know there's some foodies here too, but that's not really the focus of this board, so it seems like a weird fit.

Having said that, thanks for the ACYE sushi recommendations.

Answer is I am posting it in the Lounge part of the board. I think the purpose of this section is to talk about anything and everything.

Indeed I am a foodie however I don't think I am less passionate about "mongering". @LC18 once was wondering about my entertainment budget (sorry to drag you into the discussion ) after seeing me shared all those social dates ideas and my answer was that I don't set a budget for that and I prefer to not look at it. For me the pleasure to enjoy entertainment be it a show, experience, food or mongering is equally pleasurable. Even without looking at the numbers I am pretty sure my mongering expense exceed my food expense ...
Maybe the complaint I can take is about the sharing of experience. But I'm a pretty vanilla dude so nothing interesting to share plus to an extent I don't have the same passion to share food experience than intimacy experience
Or should I say I like to describe in details how some food is good or delicious and delicate but I will not go to such length and detail to say how a pussy was good (God knows how I love eating pussy lol)

PS: thanks for respectfully asking the question

It is, and no problem as far as that goes. I have specific interests (travel, politics and current events) and when I want to discuss those in anything other than generalities then I go to other specialty boards to discuss them with other people who are as knowledgeable about them as I am. When I want to discuss local mongering I come here. I wouldn't go to a politics board to discuss mongering, or vice versa, because neither group would be as receptive or as knowledgeable about the subject that wasn't the focus of the board.so it seems a bit weird to me. If I wanted to discuss food I'd go to a food board, but again that's just me. Different people think differently and I was curious about it, but I am absolutely not telling you not to post here or that you should go elsewhere. I was just curious about the thought process, because you are an extremely prolific poster.

Maybe just start a thread about home cooked food then

Where's the fun in sharing it with others who already know. It isn't new information to them. While here he gets to share his education with people who would most appreciate it, as it becomes all new and relevant information for people to try.

And is relevant as dates can be part of hobbying, and sometimes people could benifit from new ideas.

Yes, again I guess it's a question of perspective and individual thought processes. I always have social dates elsewhere but never have them here, so when I'm on MERB I don't really think about it per se, but when you bring it up it seems obvious, given all the recent chat about social dates recently. In that context it becomes very relevant information for a portion of the membership that social dates here.
