The Fun of Food.
[reblogged from flickr]
Food may be an essential component to us all, but it goes far beyond that. Most of us get a huge amount of pleasure from the act of eating and we will shape many of our activities around it; picnics, romantic dinners and buffets for example. We even incorporate food into party games such as ‘bobbing for apples’ or seeing how many cream crackers we can get in our mouths at once!
But food is also a massive global industry. Every single day, hundreds of thousands of meals are being cooked or prepared by chefs and handed over to hungry customers. And most of our colleges will run their own food hygiene course for the Jamie Olivers’ and Delia Smiths of tomorrow.
The past couple of years have taught us all that many careers are not as safe as we once thought, but catering will always be a thriving industry. That is, until eating goes out of fashion!

If you choose a career that is based around something essential to life then you are probably onto a winner.
Sound advice!

I love to eat, but I’ll leave the preparation side of it to someone else!
I just don’t have the patience to stand cooking long and complicated meals.
