Theme: “The Foods That Made Us.” I love to use different dishes as an entry into reflections on intergenerational memory and reconciling different aspects of one’s identity, particularly in the context of immigration. Some foods can transport me into stories my great-grandfather used to tell, that I never lived or experienced myself, but that I can feel with every smoky bite of sausage or the pointy smell of cabbage rolls.
