Charlene White Instagram – “I’m one of those ‘eat my feelings’ kinda gals,” writes Charlene White.
“In moments of extreme sadness, I turn to food… when I need comfort, I will always turn to my favourite thing on a starter menu – chicken wings.
“And since my best mate Darrell died a month ago, I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time and energy devouring chicken wings, usually with a delicious glass of Rioja to wash them down (I may hail from south-east London, but I’m very classy with it).
“I’ve spent a lot of time at Darrell’s house over the past month… After every visit I would need time alone just to decompress before walking through the door of my own house and hugging my kids.
“So where did I end up? In the pub, making my way through ‘my usual’. And on the nights when it was just too late to be hanging out in the pub on my own, I’d order some wings.
“I was so consumed by sadness, I sought comfort in the thing that always connected me, Darrell and our south-east London roots – wings.”
