 Retaining my cultural foods as I move forward in life is very important to me because they carry memories, traditions, and a deep sense of identity. Food is more than just nourishment it connects me to my roots and the people who came before me. The smells, flavors, and recipes remind me of family gatherings, celebrations, and the comfort of home. No matter where life takes me, I can’t imagine living without certain dishes that have been passed down through generations. For example, insert a specific cultural dish you love like biryani, tamales, jollof rice, dumplings, etc.] is a must-have for me. It’s not just about taste it’s about holding onto a part of who I am.
