1. To annoyingly pick at food on the table, eating slice after slice, leaving a very unappetizing carcass of a piece of
food (pastry, cake, etc.), in the mistaken belief that by eating surgically sliced portions in very small pieces, the
food is rendered calorie and fat free.
2. To add copious amounts of salt, pepper, or some other substance to a piece of
food, thus rendering the
food inedible, because someone doesn't have enough self control not to eat said piece of
food. While
food ends up being inedible to the veratizer, it also ends up being inedible to the other people at the table, who may desire to eat it.
3. To repeatly
go the fridge, and pick and pick after a defenseless foodstuff, typically with the same eating utensil, thus rendering food inedible to anyone but the veratizer.
Man, did you see how she was veratizing that danish? Why doesn't she just put it on her plate and eat it like a normal civilized person does?
You may as
well throw away that cake in the
fridge. I sure as hell
don't want to eat it after it has been so thoroughly veratized.
