@skinnylatte maybe a far reach but I relate. I'm a Spanish living in UK and after years working at a same place they are still in shock for me having prepped a full meal for lunch (to mw at the kitchenette) almost everyday. I'm still in shock that I learned when their kids are fed something cooked / warm in school they switch the dinner to sandwiches. They see my culture as excess, I see theirs as self punishment. In addition food *is* culture for me, doesn't feel is the same for (most of) them
