Hello, Blurt friends! Hope you guys are healthy and happy.

I want to talk about the dining culture in my area. More precisely in my village and in several villages around me. Not a city area!

I live in Ringinrejo Village, Ringinrejo District, Kediri Regency, East Java, Indonesia. You have to stop by if you are passing through this area. I will provide coffee. 😁

Before this chat goes any further, I would like to introduce the food menu this time. You can see the photos I uploaded. a combination of food on a plate with a large portion of food.

Does it look attractive?

The name of this food menu is...
No name! But we can call this food a combination of 1. Rice (staple food), 2. Vegetable long bean and bean sprouts with gravy (I'm sure the preparation here is delicious. Because there are many choices of spices), and 3. Processed flour and leaves luntas (side dishes to replace fried chicken).

For luntas leaves. We can pick it in the yard of the house. This plant is also good for eliminating body odor.

How is the eating culture of the villagers?

Eat as much as you can to make your body strong!

Most of us don't really care about food content. In fact, I was never taught by my family about nutritional needs. Eating is the need for the stomach to be full and to stay alive.

Many do not care whether the required carbohydrate content is fulfilled. Is there enough protein and so on?

As long as there's plenty of food. Then "full nutrition content". Ha ha ha. As long as the food is delicious (for example, with chicken or other meat), "means the nutritional content is fulfilled".

I recognize this as a culture. Because most of the local people here are manual laborers. Especially the farmers.

But all this comes with a risk! Of course. Most parents will complain about their bodies getting sick easily.

They will turn out to be very picky eaters. Even avoiding certain foods and letting those foods be eaten by others who are younger.

Usually, they would say, "just eat. You are still young. Your body is still strong." Without thinking for good reasons, for the sake of health, and so on.

But even so, the next generation has started to have a different way of thinking. Moreover, most youths have access to education.

Not many have pursued higher education. But for the size of this area, it's quite a lot. Moreover, the information obtained from the internet is getting more and more.

People are already a little different from before. Of course. The old people were educated by the colonialists and monopolized by the government. People now can learn from the internet

Is something like this funny?
