Asher's Eating Habits
From The Extended Group
Revision as of 22:03, 10 February 2007
Asher is well known for his eating habits, despite the fact that most of his "habits" are in fact total constructions of certain individuals.
Keeping Kosher
Perhaps the most persistent rumor surrounding Asher's eating habits is that he keeps Kosher, which is also known as "the Jew diet." Asher himself has never claimed to keep Kosher, and his efforts to eat non-Kosher foods in public have often been met with disbelief and amazement. There are a few specific examples of Asher defying the public perception.
- Often eating sandwiches with large amounts of ham for lunch at school.
- Ordering cheese fries, with bacon bit topping, at Denny's.
- Most recently, ordering bacon with a breakfast platter at Denny's during the Winter 2006-2007 break.
It is at the time unclear if this rumor will ever be dispelled, or what measures it would take to accomplish such a task.
Consuming Non-edibles
Asher has, from his early childhood, engaged in the consumption of various items that would not be consider edible, for various reasons. Many of these acts are not well-known to members of the Extended Group, but nonetheless are notable in understanding the psychological growth of this man. In his first year of religious school, Asher was once refused a snack based on previous poor conduct, yet was given a napkin. In defiance, Asher ate that napkin, sparking a trend that lasted through high school of eating paper. This was sometimes done for attention, but was just as often done out of mild hunger or boredom. During the spring of senior year of high school, Asher took part in what was a small movement towards the eating of any food found. Other notable participants in the "Blossoming Spring Festival" included Andy Dustan and John Teske. Asher personally ate food items from garbage cans and, memorably, ate a half-melted gummy bear off the asphalt. While these items are technically edible, most sane people would typically not actually eat them.
