RE: ~FFF~ Meet Rueben... The Sandwich That is ~ Fast Eddies Of Walla Walla, WA ~ FoodFightFriday
I saw the bug on your folder—nice bug. 👍🏿
Man, being out of the country I trip out on food and lunch. Food is treated completely different over here and so is lunch and employees. They don’t “eat” here. They don’t “go eat” here, they “enjoy a meal together” here or “enjoy a Ruben” here. Interesting, right? And they say “we feed our animals, we don’t feed ourselves.” Or “animals eat, livestock eats, we enjoy meals.”
Also, there’s no such thing as a 30 minute lunch like I thought the world survived on. Minimum 1 hour, everyone gets a minimum 1 hour but it gets better. Dude, here in Europe, everyone from retailers to construction hands to markets to everyone, the whole got dang EU shuts down between 2 and 5pm and it’s known and expected. It’s anticipated, it just IS. See, what I grew up on, that wouldn’t work, nope! They got me all F’d up like “no, no, we can’t do that, no! We may run out of sunlight—no!” While I’m twisting wire nuts in one hand and eating a sandwich out of the other.
“Land of the thief. Home of the slave.”
Great contender @jlsplatts. The pleasure’s all mine.
I have heard that, about eating meals together for every... meal... 1/2 hour is just what we call it ;) Interesting between 2 and 5 dang might as well not start until 10 so you have enough time for breakfast. Shoot 5 pm... that is cutting into dinner time... welp looks like we don't work anymore and just eat all day. I am in on that. HAHAHA
It's funny how each country has their own kind of "programming" on doesn't it. 🤔🤔
Oh for sure dude! Whoever doesn’t think humans are programmable hasn’t realized the language that comes out of their mouth in comparison to the rest of the world.
Hey man, another fun fact, as we began this adventure I was trippin out that nobody works in Central and South America. They just don’t work, everyone is at the beach, at the pool, whatever, nobody works.
Then I got to the UK and it’s an even grander scale—much grander, nobody works. Dude.. you’ve seen my pictures, they’re taken at all times of the week, I don’t train on the weekends, the UK is active and nobody works.
Ok, now I’m in Greece, same thing. I talked to Ed and he said “dude, that’s how all of Europe is.” Eh, @jlsplatts, I think I was wrong, it’s not that nobody works and slaves their life away anywhere else in the world, I’m beginning to believe that only happens in the states. It’s not that nobody else slaves away their life in exchange for family and things that actually have substance, it’s just the only thing I knew therefor I believed it was normal.
Nah... So far, I’ve learned they don’t do that anywhere else. I’ll keep you posted though! 👍🏿
My homeboy who’s a former Naval Officer told me the other day as I Mentioned the same realization to him that “no, they work in China and Japan, too, but that’s it. People don’t work anywhere else—that’s an American custom.”
Am I the only one who rambles long azz comments like this? 🤔
