I must share the oddest custom these creatures have. After eating, Food will pat me on the back repeatedly until I burp, which leads me to believe this is the intended outcome. While burping is considered rude in some cultures, it is almost a sign of a good meal here. Even stranger than that is Food's tendency to burp before me, almost as encouraging me. Granted, I feel much better after and find I can eat more as well; go home tonight and try it for yourself if you don't believe me. I thought it was odd too but you cannot deny the benefits of this custom.
Editor's note: more often than not, Eli's mom (Food) will burp first while bumping him. It was funny at first, now it's hilarious.
