Food disappears
What does it mean that in a conversation the food on our plate disappears and we were only vaguely aware of eating? Are we simply distracted? Does this breaking bread together cause something to happen in the participants? That is, the “together” part? We have been enculturated that food shared helps the conversation, and conversely that conviviality aids the digestion. But is there more at work? In our bones a species memory of caves and campfires? Physical digestive juices stirring and being stirred by metaphoric juices of the mind?
