Creme Brulee Theory; The Dynamics of Sharing Food
I like to call this my “Creme Brulee Theory“. This theory answers one question:
Are 2 guys able to share a Creme Brulee dessert at a restaurant?
Below, I have provided a small diagram to assist with my explanation.
Let’s start at the TOP LEFT with the full oval shape. This is my rendition of Creme Brulee. Yeah, I know I suck at drawing, get over it. So if two or three girls can share a Creme Brulee, why not 2 guys?
[See the next figure to the TOP RIGHT] So lets add in 2 guys to this equation. Guy #1 starts eating from the left while Guy #2 starts eating from the right. This is the best Creme Brulee ever made, so lets expect it to be finished.
[See the figure on the BOTTOM LEFT] Now, here is where we see a demonstration of one of man’s many unspoken rules. Neither guy can cross the middle into the other man’s territory. It’s like the border of North and South Korea… you cross into the other man’s land and you’ll start a full scale war… it’s just taboo! For you confused fellas out there, this is where you STOP eating.
[See next figure on the BOTTOM CENTER] Let’s see what happens when someone crosses the border. Guy #2 has crossed the border into Guy #1’s territory. OMG, Guy #2 just ate a piece of creme brulee that Guy #1’s spoon had touched. That’s like swapping spit…. like French Kissing. What you’ve just witnessed was Guy #2 crossing the “point of no return”. He is doomed to endure the endless ridicule of his male buddies. Never to be accepted into the straight realm again.
On the flip side, I was about to draw a diagram of Creme Brulee with 2 girls. But what’s the point? First, you see Creme Brulee, then the next thing you don’t. Use common sense: girls don’t mess around with borders and Creme Brulee.

Guys sharing creme brulee?
Look, I’m all for frugality, but how ’bout each guy orders his own brulee. In fact, let’s not order creme brulee. Isn’t there something a little more masculine on the menu. Like a pancake?
sheesh.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with sharing a dessert, but I am a girl! This is a funny post and it really shows the difference between how men and women view things.
Hey Zen, hope you are doing well. I’m loving your blog. Really like this post too – it says a lot. I’ll be discussing it with my girlfriends next time we share a creme brulee, which will be any day now. I wonder if its only the threat of being thought gay that worries men in the desert-sharing sharing area? Quite a few men couldn’t care less about that, but still exhibit this behaviour. Could it be sheer territoriality? In my observation this is much more developed with guys than girls. With us, we have to be seen to be “fair” (even if we’re not). So instead of ending up with a little creme brulee frontier, we keep on dissecting the remainder equally, until the last little bit is so small we all have to decline it in fairness to the others.
Take care!
And this is the reason I read thezencapitalist.com. Awesome posts.
How difficult is it for chimps to aquire wild fruit? If the potential recipient of sharing could simply get her own fruit without significant effort, there seems to be little point in sharing.
If human population dynamics is not understood and the human overpopulation of Earth is not addressed, nothing else we do will make a difference that makes a difference for the future of children everywhere. Overpopulation is the proverbial “mother” of all human-driven global challenges looming so ominously before humanity in our time.
Apart from taking more than his fair share of food and drink and lusting after women who are not interested in him.

I shared a room with my older sister for a good part of my childhood, and I must say that it had both ups and downs. We became closer, but we also knew how to push each other’s buttons.
Haha… this diagram is great. And so true. The male psyche is so much different from the female’s. While we have much different rules about boyfriend stealing and telling your friend she looks good even when she looks ugly, guys really resist all the physical displays that girls embrace so readily.
I enjoyed the commentary even if I was slightly confused by the drawing before I read the article

This must have something to do with a dustup on those cliqueists’ blogs. Greg just gave them a papaya, but I doubt there will be any exchange.
This is where the magic happens. Online and offline stores have put in place their biggest sales and coupons to lure weekend shoppers who just got paychecks. Especially now, as holiday shopping nears.

They watched the staff arrange the bins on tables draped with starched white tablecloths. There was so much food that it couldn’t fit on the tables, so several bins had to be carried back out. The lids were removed, and all the pier kids peered intently through the window.

I introduced roasted green beans to a friend of mine and told her that will eat them like french fries when we’re having them with other food we eat with our hands and she ended up introducing the food to her kids as green fries and they just gobbled them up.

The book is divided into two sections: The Basics and The Recipes. The Basics section covers some very informative theory about creme brulee with regards to cooking methods, ingredients, equipment, and tips and techniques.

Hmmm… chemistry, I guess…sugar is composed of carbon hydrogen and oxygen and when you caramelize the sugar on top you burn off the hydrogen and oxygen which increases the carbon content of the sugar mixture which turns the sugar a darker color.
Excellent stuff from you, man I’ve read your things before and you are just too awesome. I adore what you have got right here. You make it entertaining and you still manage to keep it smart. This is truly a great blog thanks for sharing…
Please suggest a group dynamics[energizer, etc] that has a relation with food?
I share food with all my friends, I even eat off the same plate with some. I think sharing food is a lovely thing to do together. It just means you feel comfortable enough to…… share food.
