Status Updates From La ceremonia

Have I got the stomach for this?

A Magnificent Spread: Idk how I feel about this one. Like on one hand I can see how the overall message is "let people like what they like" but also I do think that sharing foods from other cultures IS important, even if you don't eat them. It almost feels like Muruta-san is venting from a bad experience she had with being forced to eat something she didn't like. Meh.

A clean marriage - To quote my friend whose copy I am reading and who annotated it "okayyyyy? lmao?"

Hatchling - I LIKED THIS A LOTTTT i kinda wish this was longer. Ending really really unsettled me. This has the trappings of a horror story with the husband as the "monster". I love pulling ideas to their extremes to examine them RAHHHH

Puzzle - Reread the end of it and yeah. Its interesting. Clearly a lot of thought into bodies and people
Eating the City - Feels like a really good mirror to Puzzle, but I liked this one more. Great allusions made. Did trigger my literal thinking somewhat when considering the actual implications around food and country side vs city foraging. Really fun ending
