You Are What You Eat

A man and a woman ordered breakfast at a Honolulu restaurant. Who ordered the "Waffard"--waffles, custard, berries--and who ordered the pork belly, eggs, and fried rice? (Neither is on a diet, obviously). The gender stereotypes regarding food are so strong that it should take only a second to answer.

Included among the differences between men and women is what each chooses to eat.

Men eat more meat and bread, while women consume more fruit, yogurt and diet soda. There are also gender differences in eating styles. Women take smaller bites and take longer to eat than men.

While I have ordered fish while my favorite dinner companion slices into prime rib, with us the stereotype generally holds.

I enjoyed the pork belly on last year's visit to Liliha Bakery, and I ordered it again.
