What Are Your Characters Eating?

I love this time of the year, cuz I love food!!!  And most of your characters should, too.  Well, they don’t have to love it as much as I do, but they should especially like one particular food item.  Or better yet, make them hate one.  Food is something all readers can identify with.  If they also hate peas or love vanilla ice cream like your protagonist, then a reader will remember that.  And don’t we all want our writing to be memorable?  What if your villain and hero both loved the same food? Or what if your hero was allergic to tomatoes, but the villain lived in a tomato farm?  The villain could even blow up the local chocolate factory, causing a river of chocolatey goodness to flow right to my doorstep.  Mmmm….  Now that’s what I call a happy ending 😉
