Missing the joys of lunching out | FnBReport
It is inevitable to talk about work when discussing the experience of lunch breaks. Lunch in itself was shaped around work. “It was the Industrial Revolution that helped shape lunch as we know it today. Middle and lower class eating patterns were defined by working hours. Many were working long hours in factories and to sustain them a noontime meal was essential,” notes a BBC article. Even in the early history of restaurants in the Philippines, work was also possibly a variable.
And perhaps now more than ever, workers—given that their offices have adopted a remote setup—could join every family meal too. At the same time, eating during the pandemic feels so strange too. Perhaps this is what I feel because the structures we adhere to have proven to be more intrusive. And eating now sometimes feels so lonely. I had no work in the latter half of 2019 and only found a freelance arrangement in May last year.
