Emma Teitel: Gefilte Fish and Tupperware Container

emma teitel: Dreamstime By Emma Teitel National Columnist Sat., June 3, 2017 Every year after the Jewish high holidays my fridge is full of gefilte fish, a pale loaf of poached, ground deboned fish, according to Toronto Star. It's the kind of ethnic dish that is appreciated pretty much by only those who grew up eating it, because it doesn't look or smell remotely appetizing that's an understatement . Nevertheless, once a year, I bring a piece of gefilte fish to work in a Tupperware container and I eat it for lunch at my desk. They say pee-yew when the desk-fare around them skews exotic. God help the souls who sit beside me or for that matter, 50 feet away from me. According to a recent article by Ashley O'Neill, vice-president of corporate strategy at real estate group CBRE, in the Globe and Mail, while eating in isolation has been linked to stress and overeating, and obnoxious smells are known to distract, it's the unwanted crumbs left sitting on the desk and in the equipment that cause bacteria to grow. And God help my keyboard. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
