I realize that all of us have different relationships with food based on your body and different things in your life, but we all do like to eat and we identify with food from where we're from.

It's part of a cultural experience. We celebrate with cake. We, we say goodbye with cake, right? Cake is kind of the thing. We also have, you know, our favorite food memories. I talk about this on my podcast all the time. What's your favorite food and your favorite food memory? What is your favorite food and your favorite food memory? I,

It's also identifier, right? I mean, you say you're from Texas, so Tex-Mex. We all kind of know what that is in this country. People who live in other countries, because I do have a lot of listeners around the world, you probably had some variation of it in your own country because sometimes other countries do it better than us. Right.

You know, and I've had some of the best curry of my life in Japan, not Japanese curry, but Indian curry because they do it really well. You know, the UK has its own version of curry. I think that it's interesting how much that blends, right? Because my fiance is British. We do curry on Friday nights, just an example. And curry wasn't something that I grew up with. I grew up in New England.

We eat basic, boring food. No offense. If my mom's listening, I love you. But it's one of those things where I wasn't used to that. But now it's blended into my culture and my reality, right? And I love how food brings you together like that. Try something new. experience something different, but also have the nostalgia of things you remember. And I remember family cookouts too.

I mean, we did some weird things with salads and jello and I don't know what was going on. The 80s and the 90s were kind of complicated. Or with like mayonnaise and like, anyways.

Yeah. What was the Cool Whip?

Yeah. What was the Cool Whip?

Too much. Yes. But these are brand names that we remember and they're still on the market. You can still get them and they're very clearly there. I mean, I don't know if I'd have it now, but I'm in a different state in my life. But, you know, it's fun for kids, you know.

I mean, you could probably cut open a freshwater fish and try to sashimi yourself into it, but I don't know about that. But I think it's also changed my perspective on food. When you have it in an authentic space, like I've had the privilege of going to Japan several times for work and I can't eat sushi in the States anymore. It's been erected for me.

I can't drink Guinness in the States. I really only want an Ireland or the UK. Like certain things have changed, but then you wait for that moment and you have it and you're like, yeah, it's like, and it becomes this whole awesome thing.
