Hidehiko Ishizuka of “Honjamaka” talks about his favorite fatty foods: “Fried food is my lover” and “There is no fatty who doesn’t like meat.

Hello, everyone. The season for clutching a gauze handkerchief in your left hand has finally arrived. My name is Hidehiko Ishizuka. This time, I would like to write about “food,” a common theme among fat people.

First of all, please note that what I am going to write here is my opinion and not something that I recommend to you.

A fat person’s “food

The first one is that “fat people like rice. No matter how many gorgeous dishes are served on the table, most fat people eat white rice first. I don’t really know why, but it is true that I feel relieved when I take my first bite of white rice.

There is a second common thing. Fat people like strong flavors. Since I turned 30 years old, I have not been able to understand the goodness of light flavors. For ramen, I prefer tonkotsu (pork bone) to soy sauce or miso (soybean paste). If a restaurant has butter topping, I order salted butter.

Debbies love the words “thick” and “butter. In recent years, perhaps because of the health consciousness, some cake stores say, “All of our cakes are less sweet. Of course, this is wonderful. However, in my mind, cakes are something I eat when I want sweetness, so I am happier if they are gut-sweet. If it’s sweet, it’s sweet. If it’s spicy, it’s spicy. Fat people like things that have a clear purpose.

Yakiniku with thin people is hell.

There is a saying about fat people and food. “If you want to shut up a noisy fatty, feed him meat.”

I have never met a fat person who does not like meat. I can’t say which meat dish is the best, but I definitely like meat dishes.

However, yakiniku with slim people is hell: in the limited space of 20cm x 30cm (net), the slim people lay down bell peppers, pumpkins, shishito peppers, etc. one after another. I was thinking, “Hey, hey, there are no beds for the kalbi and the roast.

I’m an adult, so I won’t shout, but it is a hellish scene. Think about it. The signboard of the restaurant says “Yakiniku” (grilled meat), not “Yakiniku Vegetables” (grilled vegetables). Not “grilled vegetables!

I’m sorry, I’m a bit distraught.

Brown Lovers

Like meat, the category that fat people love is fried food, also known as “brown lovers. Fried chicken, menchikatsu, croquettes, pork cutlets, beef cutlets, fried shrimp, fried oysters, etc. It would take three hours to read through the entire list of players.

It is impressive to watch them being born. They dive into the oil, clad in bread crumbs. After relaxing in a luxurious Jacuzzi, they float up on their own as if to say, “Enough! It scoops itself up in a net and gives birth when it is placed on the oil drainer. I call the day I eat fried fish “Fry Day. Fry Day. Whoopee.

And about a certain thing that fat people often carry. As far as I know, when I do a personal belongings search on fat people, I find gummy bears in their pockets. I, too, take gummy bears as a supplement when I am tired. That fudgy, sweet, fruity taste. It is the best gift God has given to mankind.

I hope the above has given you some idea of what fat people like. If there is a fat person you would like to be friends with in the future, please use this information. One last word of advice.

Neapolitan is a side dish for rice.

See you soon.
