It must be connected to spitting, I guess!?

 

There is not much edible stuff inside sunflower seeds, but when I ask Chinese why such a passion toward seeds, they all reply: 'I don't know! It is very tasty!'

My gf eats them everyday.  But she doesn't spit...she cracks them with her teeth and takes out the seed to eat it...I do the same thing now.

It's a great way to forget about smoking while watching TV or a movie...at least for me.

I am happy when she eats seeds because it means she is not gnawing on chicken feet or goose heads.

They must like the challenge, like eating chicken feet. I need more substance when I eat. I'll take cashews, just not Chinese cashews.
