Reminds me of this joke my parents told me, which I’m gonna paraphrase:
"We used to not have not much to eat, food was rationed, and we only got one 鹹魚 (Salted Fish) at home, not enough for everyone, so we’d have a bowl of rice, and instead of eating the 鹹魚 with rice, we look at it and pretend like we’re eating it, then we eat the rice…
Then this kid was just kinda staring into space and his eyes was facing the 鹹魚 and the mom was like: ‘唔好睇咁耐啊，鹹死你啊！’ (‘don’t stare it for too long, you’re gonna die in overdose of sodium’)"
This joke was so lame but I kinda just awkwardly laugh at it when my parent told it… and they repeatedly told that joke that it just got stuck in my memory…

I think I’m subconsciously doing this when I watch food shows while eating
