“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”. This famous quote says a lot about how emotions are closely tied to food and how they can drastically interfere with our appetite. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, VIAGE is excited to play Cupid by offering you a special menu to share with your special someone. And because we never do things by halves, this comes with the opportunity to win a fantastic prize!
Once upon a time, the gut and the stomach were considered to be the headquarters of our emotions. After all, don’t we talk about a “gut feeling” to refer to one’s deepest instincts? Not to mention the painful contractions likely to hit one’s stomach when intense emotions are at play. It’s exactly that phenomenon that led our ancestors to the conclusion that our bowel and our feelings are intertwined.
The gut feeling
That primal instinct, we were born with it. And when it comes to love, it tends to fly off the roof as soon as your heart stops listening to your brain. These intense emotional states, be it love, sadness, stress or even anger, have the ability to get our appetite twisted. Who’s never binged on their entire fridge content to avoid binging on their sadness? Or lost their appetite as they lost their love? And who’s never felt like living on love and fresh water during a honeymoon phase? Honestly, it’s everyone’s lot! That being said, food remains a great opportunity to share some quality time. And with a delicious meal, not only do you satiate one’s cravings, but you also get to feed those you love with your very own special love. There, we said it: sharing is caring.
The people who give you their food give you their heart.
– Cesar Chavez
