Wanted : A Butcher to Date !
My ex punked me again.
I came to his place where he was taking a break from his work, and I found out that he was having lunch from a box that he had brought from home.
I came to him to flirt with him a while, then I tasted a spoon of his lunch, rice plus meat.
“Great,” I said. “How did you cook the chicken?”
He replied me lightly, “That’s pork.”
Certainly I stood up from my seat and yelled in shock.
“I don’t eat pork! How could you give me one?!”
I gazed at him so hard and held my mouth tight that still full of the food that I was chewing. What was I supposed to do with it? Should I swallow it? Isn’t it a sin?
Should I vomit? Geez, that’s my baby had given it!
And what was I supposed to do with him? Should I thank him coz he let me taste his lunch?
Or should I punch him coz he’d given me my prohibited food?
It means this is the third time I got deceived.
I’m prohibited eating pork, and it’s been twice I’m accidentally hit.
In a buffe dining in a Chinese restaurant on Sydney, I took all of the fleshes that I was interested in, then I brought them to the chef.
After it was all done and I ate them, a friend whispered to me that actually what I’d taken was the crisply baked of pork, which bowl was exact next to the bowl of the chicken crisps.
I swore that those crisps were exactly looked same!
I wanna claim the restaurant coz it dished all the menu panels in Chinese characters, but I was afraid, that the owner of the place didn’t speak English.
In Kuta Bali, I stop at a little store to buy bapau.
I tasted one, and coz it was delicious, I bought four to eat alone in my hotel.
Then I got addicted, so the next day, I returned to the store to buy a few more.
I said cheerfully to the waitress, “The bapau is so great, Ma’am. Is it beef inside or chicken?”
The waitress said in a great Balinese accent, “It’s pork, Ma’am.”
And now I ate another pork, not from a Chinese chef who didn’t speak English, not from a Balinese vendor who used to have pork in barbecue, but now it’s from my ex!
I SWEAR THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT.
And I almost vomit the food until my ex said, “I’m just kidding you. That’s beef gepuk!
Geez, how could you be so scared?”
My ex’s belief doesn’t prohibit him to eat pork, so I think he doesn’t really get the essential of pork-prohibition for my belief.
But he always understands the difference between us, so I believe that he always avoids me from any food that I don’t eat.
It’s not his fault. That’s my problem.
I shoulda could differ the pork from the beef or even from the chicken.
The problem is, I never really eat pork, so I never know what it’s like!
I need someone to teach me that.
“I’ve dated a trumpet player, a teenage boy, a comic illustrator, an economic expert, a tenor singer, and even a doctor. But I never date a butcher. I think I need to have one.”
