Food is one of the most important things in life after water, food is one of our survival kits in life and a reason to live a good life. A hungry man is said to be an angry one, and the hungry man is lacking in food.
I remember times when I was in the institution and a friend of mine brought a meal to our hostel. He is just that way, at times when he realized people needed something, he would always go the extra mile to make sure he satisfies everyone. Even if it meant for him to go and borrow from others, he would.
That very day, my roommate was so hungry that he wasn’t even the funny person he used to be. Then my friend came with a bowl of Eba and soup. So hot!
My hungry roommate couldn’t resist the hunger so he joined hands with him. They started eating and then he realized the meal was with a lot of pepper, after which when they finished eating he asked how he prepared the stew.
My friend told him that he just ground fresh pepper and dried pepper together, then added the little palm oil he had left at home and then some seasoning, and the soup was good to go.
From the moment my roommate ate the food till the night hours, he was just opening his mouth, gasping for air, and also drinking water.
That experience would lead to a discussion of choosing between making our meal or outsourcing it from restaurants.
I prefer cooking meals by myself, which means homemade meals rather than buying them from outside. The reason why I might have to buy meals outside is either that I don't have enough money and won't be sufficient to make the meal I want to prepare at the moment, so I would rather buy it outside though I won't see it to be satisfying compared to when I prepare it myself.
Another reason why I would patronize restaurants and fast food is because of the time when I am out of time and I can't prepare a meal by myself. I would have no choice, or maybe when I find myself in a vicinity where I have to eat and there are no means of cooking myself.
But if I am home, and I have everything I need to prepare a meal myself. I am always ready to spare my time and prepare the best and most satisfactory meal for myself. One thing that made me cherish homemade meals is that during my teenage years, I was the only one left at home with my mum and my younger siblings.
We don't buy food outside, so most of the time I am always in the kitchen preparing different kinds of meals. And I got used to it.
During my university days, I was recognized as a good chef. When I cook, I get compliments about how delicious the meal tastes. The most impressive part of it is that I am a guy and can still cook to satisfaction.
So even when I get married too, I will always continue to cherish homemade meals. Fast foods are not bad too but I feel that it’s kinda occasional and also depends on the situation I find myself in. Though some are just too lazy to attend to the kitchen chores and stress. But it’s different for me.
This is my response to the hive learners community weekly featured content on Hive for the week 114 edition 2 and the topic to be discussed is COOKING OR FAST FOOD

Homemade meals will always be better and preferable
Yeah. You are right about it. It’s a choice though
Sure
I can imagine the pepperish food scenario, actually I'm not a fan of too much pepper in my meals and will always access every meal before eating.
Thanks for writing
Yeah it a pleasure stopping by. This is why most time I even prefer to do the cooking. Though I am not perfect but at least I can be rest assured about what I am about to eat.
I prefer homemade food too, especially because I will eat to my satisfaction without spending so much. It's my preferred eating pattern.
Yeah yeah. Nothing like homemade food. You can have it classy and even more better that the fast food that is prepared for the public
It's true, sometimes it's the occasion that makes us inclined to buy food away from home. Sometimes we find an ideal place that even goes well with the event. Regards @abdul-qudus
Yeah. That’s just it. Home made meals taste differently and satisfying. But fast food aren’t bad too.
Enjoyment Abdul, just like you I also prefer homemade foods because most of these fast foods are very expensive when compared to homemade foods.
Yeah yeah. 😂 Enjoyment soldier. But I think the nature of your work would make you even eat more of fast foods
Looking at your picture shows you are indeed a good cook.Home made food is always the best
Heheh. Thanks so much for the compliment.
There is no doubt food is one of the most important thing that human needs to live, so, we should always try to eat healthy and which most of time can get by home made food.
Well said friend. The better the food we eat, the more our health gets to improve too. And home made food can render it best
That's right, preparing the meal at home would cost more sometimes so it's an option to go for fast foods instead.
Although this wouldn't work when it's a family home 😅 how many can you buy?
Homemade meals remains the best indeed.
You get it oo. Family home will not work 😂 😂. Even they won’t even want to think about having it an option.
Lol it's a too wild option
