"payt bhar kay khalow"
I don't know much of my mother tongue, but what I do know has come from conversations with my grandmother. Usually about food.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
Which means "eat until your stomach is full". Or something like this. And in this way she feeds me. She sustains me. She tells me it is okay, to take until I am satisfied. Demands it with a stern voice and plate full of offering.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
I'm 15 when my uncle's gaze tells me I shouldn't have another slice of cake. My grandmother plates me a second piece with a overdone wink, shoving it into my palms even when I say no. Even when I want to take up less space. Even when I want to disappear. She does not ask. She is demanding I exist unapologetically.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
I am 17 when I have my four wisdom teeth removed. Spitting up blood in the sink, trying to replace my gauze, I come to the kitchen for a glass of water to down my antibiotic pills. She asks me if I want to eat. I roll my eyes. Try to manage through the cotton in my mouth, that I can't. Assuring her I won't starve in the hour it takes for the numbing to wear off. She dosen't sound convinced. She keeps trying to feed me. I think she does not trust the world, not to devour me while I heal.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
She is telling me to eat before I leave. What if there isn't food there? Eat. Eat, just in case. You'll be hungry. I don't want you to be hungry. I think she does not trust the world to sustain me. To give me what I need. I do not blame her. I do not trust it either.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
She always sends me home with tupperware full of leftovers, enough for at least three days, every time. Even when I tell her there is no room in my fridge. That there is no space at home. She makes me promise to ensure my mother eats. She tells me "layja". Take. So I do. I think she does not trust me to sustain myself. To take what I need. I do not blame her. I do not trust me either.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
She says eat. You look exactly like your mother. Your mother never ate. Your mother is looking thin. What she means is, my mother hasn't called her in months. Your mother never ate. What she means is your mother never took. What she needed. Your mother never ate. What she means is: your mother never ate my food. My cooking. She never let me sustain her.
But my mother eats. She takes. I know she does. But never until she is full. Just enough to survive. My mother tells me the story, of calling her my grandmother at a train station in the middle of the night when she was pregnant with me. She asked for spicy foods. Haleem. Pakora. She asked for food. She asked for other things. She asked to come home. And my grandmother told her no. My grandmother turned her away. My grandmother said: Take less. Be small. Be good. Your satiety is conditional. It comes after that of your husband. And his father. And your child. You eat last. You eat what is left.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
I think my mother never outgrew this lesson. I think, yes, my mother is looking thin. I think, yes, my mother never eats until she is full.
"payt bhar kay khalow"
I think my grandmother understands now. And so she tells me
"payt bhar kay khalow"
Eat until you are full, child. Take until you are satisfied, girl.
- There Is A Difference Between Taking And Taking Enough
Weirdly good food/drink combinations pt.1:
I’m a bit sick and am currently/have been somewhat delirious for the past few days.
(I still stand by my previous post about Bucky Barnes and disability representation and I will continue to even when I feel better)
Anyways, back to the point:
So naturally, I had the idea of putting honey on my left over pizza that I ate for dinner last night and it is so delicious that it’s crazy.
10/10 highly recommend
Here’s part 2:
Weirdly good food/drink combinations pt.2:
I call this drink a Turd Cola and despite what the name suggests it is very tasty. You will need a few ingredients for this recipe, I recommend your local grocery store (and I hope that Polly Chocolate is a thing where you live).
There’s gonna be a picture at the end.
Ingredients and supplies:
Your local grocery stores version of cheap off brand Coca Cola (because boycotting brands that support genocide is a good idea)
Fanta exotic (BUT PLEASE BUY A CHEAP OFF BRAND ALTERNATIVE IF YOU CAN BECAUSE FANTA AND COCA COLA ARE OWNED BY THE SAME PEOPLE!)
A bag of Polly’s milk chocolate, maybe even with Åhlgrens Bilar instead of the normal stuffing. (This can unfortunately only be acquired in Sweden so if you’re not in Sweden then you can just buy mini marshmallows)
Pizza (is optional but the bread crumbs floating around add to the experience. buy something from a local small pizza place and not from the really big chains if you can because most of the really big chains should be boycotted for the same reasons as most of the other things on this ingredients list)
A very large wine glass
Now that you have the ingredients what you’re gonna do is:
Pour in the (ripoff) fanta and make sure that you leave about half of the glass empty depending on how much you want of the other ingredients but really it’s up to you because you can always drink some if it gets too full.
Cola, make sure to leave some space in the top for the other ingredients
Put in a handful of the Polly chocolate/mini marshmallows and if you have pizza then you should make sure to leave just a little bit of extra space but now the drink part is complete
Dip in your pizza slice and let it soak for a bit before taking a bite.
Enjoy your pizza and your abomination of a drink!
The picture of what it should look like:
Here’s where part 1 is (I don’t know how to link it in the neat way plz help):
Tiny cat on a normal sized slice of cake or a normal sized cat on a huge slice of cake… that is the question.
So I saw in your bio that your requests were open so I had to jump on the opportunity( if they aren't open please ignore this)
Could I request macaque, Mk, and wukong( separate) x chubby nonbinary reader. Like the reader has issues with eating infront of people. They just feel like they need to eat less than everyone else and should hold back on the food. And it progresses where they don't eat out with anyone and isolate themselves to avoid what they deem as judgement.
Yeah, of course! Enjoy!

!! WARNING! HEAVY CONTENT AHEAD! MENTIONS OF EATING DISORDERS/DISCOMFORT! IF YOU ARE NOT IN A GOOD STATE OF MIND PLEASE MOVE ALONG TO A DIFFERENT POST! THANK YOU FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE ONLINE :) !!
MK- concerned lad :( I hc that his favorite thing to do when hanging out with people he cares about is having some good food for good company. So when you turn the noodles down, when you don’t even partake in your favorite snacks that he bought for you–he feels bad and worries a lot. However he hates the idea of pushing your boundaries so it probably takes him a while to even ask about it. He tells you that while he can’t force you to eat anything he is worried about your health. He loves you the way you are, he would hate to see you destroy yourself by not eating. In an effort to help he offers to maybe hang out just in his apartment more often so you don’t feel so watched and he will definitely turn around if it makes you feel better. He also amps up his complimenting game and focuses on you as a person rather than just your physical qualities.
Macaque - he’s upset, not at you, but at the reality that he can’t do more to help you. He loves you and how sweet you are to him, how could you treat yourself badly? He shows you some professional resources like therapy, since he knows that he himself isn’t exactly cut out to solve this problem. He also makes an effort to indulge you in the foods you really like to hopefully encourage you to partake, even if it means he has to face away from you or that you two end up eating in his dojo rather than a restaurant. He always reassures you that he thinks you’re perfect and that he would never judge you for something like this. Macaque will also become more physically clingy so be prepared for that. He may also write some poetry for you ;)
Wukong - feels terrible!! That’s his s/o!!! And he has to help!! Obviously, he gives you some time to see if you’ll come to him about the issue on your own. However if you don’t he’s inclined as your boyfriend to express his concerns for you and ask what steps you’d like to take and which steps you want him there for. He’ll do his best to make you feel comfortable with food and eating, especially around other people. May start off small like eating in his hut and gradually expand to a place like Pigsy’s–either way he will not throw you into the deep end. He gives you a lot of encouragement, even for “small” steps. To him, seeing you make any progress at all is a victory and he makes sure you know that regardless of how you look, he’s proud of you and he loves you unconditionally.
Dinner:
approximately
four cups
of rainbow goldfish

[11:25pm, preparing for the final presentation I'm giving tomorrow] wow I really want to make rice and beans rn /srs
dude the carrots in this soup are MUSHY
I just saw a post that made fun of eating raw veggies, so fuck it, here is a poll for raw veggie lovers:
my reaction to learning that tootsie rolls are supposed to taste like chocolate is the exact same as most people's reaction to learning that candy corn is honey-flavored
the issue here is that ginger snaps and instant ramen don't really go together very well
