That’s My Meat

Seoul

It was dinnertime. I was seated in the same table with one who had strong convictions on not eating pork, and another who absolutely shun beef. Both meat are prohibited by the edict of their respective religions. The awkward thing is that, both pork and beef dishes were cooked in the same sizzling hot plate on opposite sides. My eyes shifted back and forth between the two diners. Quite expectedly, both tried to avoid eating meat close to the middle of the pan, but ate with more gusto as the chopsticks hit middle ground!
