More about me, and meat.

I will go on talking a little about me this time..Sine the only thing any possible reader here can know about me is my taste in music from my profile ..
I never really loved meat. I am from the little simpler middle class, as the only supporter in our house was my father, a state employee...The sorts of food I grew up with were limited, specially since it was my father who cooked, and yes he is a good cook but the only spicy thing he used was lots and lots of salt, and the rest didn't taste much.. Specially compared to other families where mothers often were at home with a great experience of cooking.
Meat was something we didn't buy often, but something I grew up mostly hearing jokes about from my father and his friends, mocking it, and mocking the salary, the high prices of taxi rides, corruption, and many other things...
although there are exceptions, and we had a lovely tradition: On the day of the month when my father got his salary he always bought our luxury lunch/ dinner: Grilled chicken, fries and garlic sauce, and some times even some coke. Greasy, very saturating and yummy!
You remember those good old days when you could buy a chicken for 50 S. P...( yes I am old, but not even 30 yet, so quiet!)
Our economy, mostly mine, is a bit better now..But I still love that meal, true simple happiness it was once a month!
As I said before a lot have happened recently in my life. I have, since some months ago..Moved!
This is it. My studies might change my life now. I am in Europe! For a longer stay this time than most times I visited earlier.
I've got lots to talk about..But I am going to take it slow, I'd rather experience than miss out on things while talking about them..
I miss the sun. I miss real summer, and the Mediterranean.
When I finally spoke on the phone with some friends and relatives, I got this funny question most Syrians might smile at hearing : "How are you? Are you taking care of your self and eating enough? Wearing enough warm clothes? .." And then : "How much does the meet cost over there?"
Well..Still more expensive than vegetables, and lucky for me I am almost a vegetarian..
It made me think of those joke heard I long time ago. ( I don't know if it might sound a little harsh, apologies if anyone finds it offensive..)
An Iraqi man , a somalian man and a Syrian were walking together on the street when they were asked by a TV reporter: What is your opinion about eating meat?
The Iraqi didn't know what opinion meant.

The somalian didn't know what eat meant.

The Syrian didn't know what meat meant.
