Curious Cook: How food talks


Although ultra-processed foods offer cause for health concerns, the reality is that these are often the cheapest foods available. — TYSON/Unsplash

The food we eat talks a lot, and at many levels, though we often do not realise it. The dishes we eat define cultures, emotions, memories and ultimately our bodies. Also, food has a remarkable way of bringing people together. Sharing a meal is a simple, universal act that can transcend language barriers and unite individuals from diverse backgrounds.

From family dinners to communal feasts, food can serve as a common language that builds social connections, strengthens relationships, and often nurture a sense of community. The act of eating together with others often conveys simple acceptance, warmth, and solidarity.
