Recently, I got to talking with an older person who also centers food and community like this. He said something interesting. ‘Food is culture, structure, politics, stories. The scaffolding of our lives and what it means to be alive.’

Sometimes, in the U.S. I feel far removed from that, which I feel I embodied and lived without thought. But I get to be very intentional about it here because I have to recreate my communities, stories and even my own food. I can’t get it here.
