I don't think to use emojis. It is probably because I don't do a lot of texting. I'm not great at typing and trying to use that tiny keyboard is just too much. Some people make fun of my texts because I write in full sentences and follow the rules of grammar.
Also because I don't text often people don't text me. Frequently, they will call me to tell me they sent me a text. I get them to tell me what it was about and respond verbally. So, I don't see many emojis.
I know that emojis have expanded from variations of the smiley face to other items. I think if they make sense it is okay to use. I know my sister the chef will often use the food emojis.
I hadn't thought of the specialised use of food emoji! I guess that makes sense... I never really use those ones... as I would rather write the word... it takes me far longer to find the picture in the emoji picker!
