Phenomenological Description







After a big day for all the superbowl fans, my family and I went to my uncle's house in Queens to have dinner and watch the superbowl. Although there were a lot of food that was being served, there were plenty to take home. I decided to finish the left over buffalo wings and the celery and carrots. Let's first start off with the buffalo wings. As i slowly started to consume the buffalo wings, I felt the slight burn rub through my lips from the hot sauce that covered the wings. I took a small bite from one side of the wing and the smoothe skin of the wing rubbed against my toungue, creating its own chemistry. My toungue started to burn after the second bite. It was difficult to let the pieces of the buffalo wings slide down my throat, but i still managed to do so. At this point, I needed some water to get rid of the spice that was left over my toungue. I slowly chewed on the pieces. It took about 4 chews for each bite taken before I was able to swallow. I can feel the little pieces get stuck in between my teeth. I started enjoying the taste of it, so i began to eat more than just one. As I switched my food intakes to eating the carrots and celery, I dipped the celery into the blue cheese before i started to eat it. As I began to consume, the blue cheese rubbed against my lips leaving its white marks behind. As it got into my mouth, I could taste the cheese and celery combining with each other. I wouldn't know how to explain how the mix tastes like but eating the celery was like eating a Polly-O-Cheese with its multiple layers. It's juice bursts throughout my whole toungue leaving its taste behind as it slowly made its way down my throat. I dipped the carrots into the bluecheese and it was the same experience. The only difference was that the carrots didn't have as much layers to chew off of. It was simple and it left little pieces in between my teeth.
