Food and culture

Food is a means of exploration of culture of a community.What we consume, howwe acquire it, who prepares it, who's at the table, and who eats fi.rst is a form ofcommunication that is rich with meaning.

"Tell me what you eat, and I'll tellyou who you are,"

Jean Anthelme Brillat

The type of food we eat, how we prepare the ingredients to make a certainrecipe and ultimately how we consume and share it, is very telling of the actualessence of who we are and where we are from. Indeed food comprises anintrinsic part of our cultural profile. Food encompasses everything that isimportant to people; it marks social differences und strengthlns s6cial bonds.

Beyond merely nourishing the body, what we eat and with whom we eat caninspire and strengthen the bonds between individuals, communities, and evencountries.

There is no closer relationship than kin, and food plays a large part in definingfamily roles, rules, and traditions
