Akimichi Chouji – May 1st
Chouji loves birthdays.
Chouji loves birthdays because Chouji loves parties
And this is because parties mean party food.
In Summary, Chouji loves party food.
He loves the little round biscuits with the holes in the middle and the multicoloured icing on top
He loves the tiny slices of pizza and the cocktail sausages and the mini sausage rolls.
He loved the exotic snacks served at Ino's Indian-themed party – the bhajis the samosas, the pakora.
He also loved the chunks of cheese and pineapple on toothpicks served at Shikamaru's party – Temari had made them specially and there had appeared to be an in-joke going there.
Chouji loved Sakura's 18th birthday party – a cocktail party – at which he managed to get himself slightly tipsy simply from eating the alcohol soaked fruits out of the multicoloured drinks.
Chouji loved his own birthday when they had been on a mission in water country and discovered an exciting new taste sensation called "steak". It had been hard to eat with the knife and fork, but well worth it in the end.
But what Chouji really loves about his own birthday is when Ino makes him his very own birthday cake which he doesn't have to share with anyone. With it's big red kanji of his name and its exact amount of candles that are always blown out with help from his team, and it's delicious spongy centre with just a hint of vanilla and foil-wrapped voucher for the all-you-can-eat barbecue place.
So really, Chouji loves birthdays because Chouji loves food, friends and everything else that comes with that delightful day filled with new taste sensations and old favourites.
And Chouji loves his own birthday, his own party and his own party food most of all.
Owari!
