Food is often cultural, but it can also be a very private event -- beyond its nutritional value to our bodies. This is a letter with a question on how much food defines us.
i relate so much , i was so curious about those jawbreakers, and i am always so fascinated by literature about food, i really want to read “Longthroat Memoirs”. also i’m east african with a voracious love for pepper, i was indoctrinated by my west african friends, but i recently went to kenya and uganda and lord, what we call chilli barely tickles my tongue, tastes like salt
If I was ever asked to write about food, this is just the way it will pop out from my head. I also didn't like beans as a child but my brother and I would mix it with garri, mould it and pretend we were eating cake. Surprisingly, beans is one of my favorite meals to eat now.
I enjoyed reading this. Got the link from someone’s status and before I could close it, my attention was drawn to the Frejon, beans etc. A bit similar to my childhood. I ate East African food a month ago, not my favorite but it was a good experience. I don’t like pepper so I didn’t rush home to down it. Great read 👌🏽
I wanted to procrastinate reading this for another time, but when I read the first, few sentences and skimmed through the remaining of it. I knew I really needed to sit back and READ THIS! The tone is so lighthearted and I think that's what hooked me, really. It was such a fun read. Thanks so much for writing this.
