Friendship+Food= Foodship

Gastronomes make for good friends. As powerful a statement it could be, let me back it with some proof.
First and foremost, almost the entire eat-out businesses thrive on the fact that youngsters are voracious eaters or drinkers. They could be muchers, bingers, chompers or even nibblers. But they like to do what they like to do only next to talk about the opposite sex or just sex. So they eat, & how!
This it also has a hidden agenda. Starting with the unfair sex, men. Men when in the company of other men eat because they are done talking about sex or any other sport for that matter, & have nothing better to do of their time. Men in the company of women on the other hand eat so that they don't talk about sex or any other sport for that matter , & want to look plain intelligent! Oh boy, how we love our eating men!
Now to the fairer sex. Women in the company of other women eat for that precious 3 second pause of chewing to think before we talk. We hate it when we accidentally gossip about you to none other than YOU! But women in the company of men pretty much don't eat. They pretend to eat. But if they actually eat, it could be that want need the 3 second pause to 'Lemon Law' the guy as he just spoke about sex! Refer to the video below for the details of 'Lemon Law'. (Yes, it's a thing now!)
 So coming back to my theory of Gastronomes being the perfect friendship material, men who eat while you are around are aware of how stupid they may come across. And they are trying, genuinely trying to suit up to you. And women who eat while you are around are being self-less & fighting their every urge to give you a piece of their mind.( trust me..that is no piece you want a share of!)
If your table looks anything like this once you have met up with your friends, consider your friendship on sail! The strongest foundation to build a long-lasting friendship (or for that matter any ship!) is Gastronomy!!
I am sure you would be more than happy to yield to it, but for the pinching economy. Alas, the greatest enemy to gastronomy is his evil twin, economy. For you will constantly be required to fund the waging war to save global friendship by feeding your friends. As much as they would want to help you, they would always 
  • forget their purse in the car/at home/at work/any place you cant reach in 10 mins
  • be low on cash as they spent a bomb on the latest Xbox/iPad/mobile
  • be maxed out on their credit card on the latest Xbox/iPad/mobile
  • have just about enough money to get back home (the sob story line)
Whatsoever be the reason if you dare insist for help, they might just throw you the worst-I-AM-NOT-HUNGRY line! And your friendship (or whatever you were trying to make of it) is potentially ruined. But fear not! Come what may, a gastronome is never going to put you through it! He/she is never going to be 'not hungry'. Hence proven that Gastronomes make for absolutely good friends. So..Bon Appetit to friendship!!
