FOOD TRIP 6: Grossed out

I went to a public school at age five, straight to Grade 1 without passing through kindergarten. To this day, I never forgot one of Mrs. Bolivar’s practical lessons: she would invite students to come in front, give them biscuits, and let them demonstrate properly how to chew with their mouths closed.

This afternoon at a fastfood joint, I watched in horror as a well-dressed lady proceeded to chomp on her burgers like a pig, mouth and teeth bared, bits of beef patty mixed with saliva flying out her mouth.

Gross!
