Beansprout "Feast-ival"
During one summer vacation years ago, when I was still a student in Paris, my sister and I had a 1-week stay at a friend's hostel situated on the outskirts of Paris.
One day, she brought us to a nearby mini supermarket to buy food for the next few days, and we saw a notice, saying that their beansprouts were on sale. We went to check them out and found that they were so cheap (I can't recall the price) that we bought 1kg right away (typical kiasu Singaporeans). As beansprouts are very light, you can imagine how much there were at 1kg! In the end, we didn't buy much of other stuffs as we had to carry bags and bags of beansprouts.
That day and the following few days, we had beansprouts for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and we were having a countdown of how many more bags of beansprouts to go. As they couldn't be kept for too long, we had to finish them fast, by hook or by crook, and it would be a waste to throw them away. Luckily, we managed to give a few bags away. As for our beansprout meals, we mainly cooked them in soup or fried them. Those few days, we had only beansprouts, beansprouts and more beansprouts, and we were so overwhelmed by the amount that we had consumed that we felt like puking just at the thought of it.
When we finally finished up the last bag of beansprouts, we swear that we would not be so greedy in future, and for a while, we steered clear of them.
