On Food

I bought this new balsamic mayonnaise to try. It seems very healthy as mayonnaise goes.


This is a wonderful article in photos on how food connects us and shapes our identities. "Food hits on multiple fronts. It defines our community. Food signals changes in tradition, history, geography. You can find out a lot about a country or culture by eating its food."

Looks good, haven't seen it here, but don't often buy mayonnaise. Have a nice day, Valerie

Oh, most definitely! Food defines communities and I love trying new things when I'm visiting another city/country, etc.

There is quite a lot you can learn about food. Food also changes as it goes place to place as well. The curry was really brought over from India, but the chicken tikka masala, which is a very well known variation of it, originated in England. Each country tends to have some part of its cuisine that is unique and it's pretty cool when you think about it.

Interesting about the tikka masala Mark.

I'm going to look out for that mayo in the UK. I tried a dark kit kat today. I was surprised at the calories. Still 230 odd. It was tasty though.

Cobra beer too is English. Maybe you don't have that with curry in Canada.

Great quote! I've never been a big fan of mayonnaise, but that looks yummier than average.

even the "same food" in another country is quite different
