I just ate a banana, it's 18:30 and I'm doing really well. Why I say that? Because it makes me suddenly think of my mother, who told us often do not eat bananas before to lie because it makes "the dream Yâwbe" .
I have long avoided this evil fruit before going to bed. And yet I've never been afraid of Yâwbe *.
I am part of the privileged who had a mom at home to cook them three good meals a day. For example, it took me some time to discover the Kraft Dinner, and it is not my mother who introduced it in my life. Despite the tons of delicious and irresistible desserts of all kinds since I've eaten my childhood, I had the chance to feed me well when I lived with my parents. This did not stop my mom to give us lots of myths wacky food, and today I find it funny because it turns out that none of them is true, and I've never understood where they came from. Another of these is that should not drink milk when you eat hot dogs , because here, Heil, wooo, it can seriously fuck your digestion, there! Personally, I think hot dogs alone can our digestion fucker and I see too that the milk has to do with it. Regardless, my mother gave us, therefore, the soft drink (no Pepsi or Coke, it upsets the children) or juice to bring down the indigestible roteux (I never liked hot dogs, except when my uncle Robin Calisse * had bought me one at a bingo hall near his home in Upper Town, I found it really special because it did not taste like my mother, it tasted the food of cheap restaurant). When I became a little rebellious, I started eating grapefruit in the evening. My mother thought it was very doubtful, probably because a grapefruit bin is too synonymous with sunny morning, but she let me take risks and live life dangerously.
However, nothing beats the myth worst food I've ever heard, that our neighbors cottage (old friends of my parents) told us with great seriousness: "Do not that you drink milk when you eat lobster, because you can die . Die? Oh wah, you're sure? Ah, that must be why there is no recipe in the world that the lobster mixture and milk, the cooks are aware of this lethal combination.
One day my big sister told my mother she learned in chemistry class food as bananas promotes sleep because of one of its amino acids it contains tryptophan. Without going into details, saying simply that tryptophan is the precursor of melatonin, the sleep hormone (check on Wikipedia if you doubt). My mother trust in the university, so she was not obstinate. Although she is an insomniac for years, I'm sure she never eat bananas at night before going to bed ...
