I took the chicken home.

pexels-photo-6260921_1.jpeg

It's been a while since I started going out to the eatery and many times I have vowed never to step there again because of one thing — why would I order a meal that will last me some days if I had prepared it myself? It's a waste of money going to an eatery, I would say to myself but on another day, I would be craving their chicken and Jollof Rice.

Apart from going there, I don't know how to use the cutleries. This made me go to YouTube to learn how to use the cutleries (fork and knife) to eat. I guess the fork will be on your left hand used to pin the meat down while the small knife on your right hand used in cutting the meat. I tried it for a few days in my room until I was able to know how to hold both together so I don't embarrass myself when I visit an eatery.

Though, I don't practice it anymore because, by the time I finished cooking, the hunger would have dealt with me to the extent that I just sit on the carpet and devour the meal like someone who is being chased.

At least, I haven't seen a guy take me on a date. Maybe I would have taken it seriously so I don't end up making my date the worst moment ever.

On this normal day, I was craving a delicious meal outside and I planned to bring the chicken home because it's always a big one and it would be a bad habit to consume all the chicken in public 😂😂 (Wait! I am not generalizing it to be a bad habit for you if this post happens to come to you, or you bump into my post. Whatever!) 😌

I got to the eatery and sat down for a while because I was feeling shy. Thank God it was on a Sunday after service and there weren't many people there. Fortunately for me, I found the best seat at a corner where I was sure no one, I mean no guy would see me or know what I was about to do. One thing in my mind always is that I might meet him anywhere 😂

I stood up after a while to go order my meal since there weren't many customers at the service stand. I ordered a plate of Jollof and Fried Rice with a big chicken. The staff gave me a knife and a spoon. What am I doing with a knife again? Well, I smiled and carried my food to my special spot where I would be able to feel comfortable and carry out my plan easily with no one looking at me.

I looked up and checked if there was any CCTV where I was, but there was none. Even if there was one, who would have the effrontery to come and ask me why I was taking the chicken home? Perhaps I would reply with a simple question: did you pay for me?

I ate my meal comfortably and conveniently and as I was about to carry out my plan of wrapping the chicken in tissue paper and putting it in my bag, two girls came to sit beside me. I had to adjust myself and wait a little to be sure they aren't looking at me. Why would they choose that space? I started thinking and playing with my phone pretending to be carried along with what was going on in my phone.

After a few minutes, I looked at the girls and at the same time put the meat in my bag. Thank God my plan was successful with no one knowing what I did. I got up and left the eatery. When I got home, I sliced the meat into little pieces and add to my small stew that was remaining. That was how I ate the meat for two days peacefully in my room.

Thanks for your time on my blog.

I've always eaten chicken with my hands, so don't feel bad about that. As for the rest, ask! so you'll have a topic of conversation about it. Don't feel bad about it remember YOU ARE PAYING FOR YOUR FOOD AND IT'S YOUR PROBLEM HOW YOU EAT IT 😁.

GREETINGS FROM VENEZUELA 🇻🇪

Lol😂 it's funny I'm trying to imaging the event and the annoyance when those two ladies came to sit next to you. I wonder who sent them to disturb your plan😂😂

But did you have to sneak to take home the meat that you paid for? Uhh I would have ask them to pack it for me to take home, can't be ashamed if I paid for it.

If it was a date then maybe you could worry about the guy that he would be thinking you came just for the meat. But ...I'm sure even on a date a guy would rather have you take a meat home than have you pretend not to want to finish it and get it wasted.

That is one problem of mine. I am always shy to ask for such request even when it's for me. I prefer going with the plan 😂😂😂

Even if it's a date, I won't try take it home oo. How na? 😅😅 The guy might not like such a thing.

It's a pity we are miles apart, we were gonna go out and I would show you how to be shameless with your own money. I was going to take that meat home with the help of the staff to pack it😂😂

I get your point though Princess. As long as you order food that you can finish or eat more than half of it on a date. Otherwise, it will also be rude to leave food on a plate and except someone's son to pay for wasted food😅.

Hahaha. Since majority of you are saying I shouldn't be shy on top of my money and I should not shy to go meet one of the staff to request taking my meat home, maybe I might try it someday 😅😅😅

Hahaha... First, you are making me hungry and craving chicken right now 🥺😭

I agree, cooking at home is cost effective than eatery but sometimes you got to treat you to a feast of your choice.

I can relate, I don't know how to use the cutleries either so I don't even order chicken or meat, I always choose Fish because I can eat that with my spoon... Lol

I am glad you were able to leave with your chicken in peace and enjoyed it at home.

Dont worry you will soon go on dates because Christmas is coming..
And again you try oo.. I no too like buying chicken from eatly because they are always expensive. I prefer buying life chicken and cook delicious meals with it.
Anyway everyone and their choices..
But If i ever take the chicken home, i must finish it before midnight 😂🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha... My stomach is a small one that doesn´t accept much food. So, it´s possible for me not to finish the meat at once.
Hehehe,, I claim it. I would like to go on a date soon.
Thanks for reading.

One thing in my mind always is that I might meet him anywhere

Then you will na meet him in the most unexpected place and time las las 🤣

This strategy you just shared now has been noted, I will definitely try it out... Those chicken they sell are too big and it won't be nice to finish it at once 🤔

I don't think I'll ever get to learn how to use the cutleries, it's just not my thing 🤣 I don't like wasting time to eat, you gerrit? Lol

Hahaha.. so you want to copy my strategy? Thank God I gave an idea here and someone is trying to grab it. Lol
Those chickens are too big and I don´t finish them. Most times, when I order food and I eat at home, I leave the chicken to come back to it later. Lol
I cannot kill my stomach joor 😃

(Edited)

by the time I finished cooking, the hunger would have dealt with me

Hunger is no respecter of etiquette. That time, you'll remember that eating with cutlery is not always sweet😂

You have time o😂
Me, I'll just use a serviette to wrap their fork and knife, then dig in with my spoon. I also wash my hands at the eatery before I eat the meat with my hands.

You were ashamed on top your own money again. No do o🌚
