I enjoy eating lunch in the kitchen or on the patio at MindComet, as the lunchtime conversation is fantastic. We have a very diversified group and the topics are unique. I started to keep a little journal of the more eccentric topics...
We've had discussions on modern mummies and mummification (who does this? it's so weird!), LARPING (Live Action Role Playing, for those of you pretending you didn't know), baby shower games (important to note, there were more men than ladies at the table for this discussion) and our all time favorite topic-food. Yes, while enjoying lunch we often talk about other food. Questions like "If you could only eat one food forever, what would it be?" and "What is the perfect food accompanying beer?" are bantered about...
I always learn something during lunch. Today I learned that what I know as the banana is actually not really a banana. The banana of old, the Big Mike, died out due to disease. This tidbit of information came as we were discussing apples and how taking a seed from an apple and growing it will not result in a tree that produces the same type of apple. It will most likely be a poor tasting variation of that apple. What did you learn at lunch today?
