ISTC Intercultural Communication | If you were... by Kate

I would most certainly be 'fiddleheads' as they are an East coast delicacy, an acquired taste and bring me back to fond memories of meals shared with my family near the river.

Banh xeo

I will surely pick "Banh xeo", which is a special and flavor dish. It reminds me of my hometown when I tasted this kind of food with my family beside the beach.

I would probably be "tiramisu" which is a dessert based on ladyfingers soaked in coffee and covered with a cream, composed of mascarpone, eggs and sugar, which in some variations is flavored with liqueur. My aunt's tiramisù is the best! We enjoy it all together, usually in winter.I identify myself with this dessert because it was probably invented near my hometown and because it is sweet, soft and made of layers to be savored and discovered, just like me!!

I would probably be "Pizza", because it is the food that reminds me of funny moments with family or friends.

Pork Sisig

If I was a dish from my home country, I would love to be Pork Sisig. This is because is a perfect mix of everything good and is always served sizzling hot 🤣

khachapuri

If I were a meal, I would be khachapuri—a warm, comforting dish made from bread stuffed with melted cheese, often topped with an egg. It’s rich, hearty, and simple, yet diverse, as there are several regional variations, just like how I can adapt to different contexts and needs. Khachapuri is a symbol of warmth and hospitality.

Pkhali

2024-09-22 23:24:00 UTC

If I were a dish, I would be Pkhali—the embodiment of simplicity and depth, a dish that doesn’t need meat to make a statement. Like me, I thrive on balance: the earthiness of spinach, the richness of walnuts, and the bite of garlic. Together, I express the soul of Country's cuisine—bold, vibrant, and full of history.

I may be humble, but in each bite, there’s a harmony of textures and flavors that transcend the need for anything more. I believe I could be one of the world's greatest vegetarian dishes, standing tall not by imitating others, but by celebrating the beauty of being plant-based and unique. 🤌🫰

Hotpot

2024-09-27 10:18:02 UTC

If I were a meal, I would be Hotpot. Not only because hotpot reminds me of the good times I spent with close people but also because I think hotpot is the kind of dish everyone gets to add his or her favorite food inside the pot, but at the same time, they have to think about the taste of the whole hotpot before adding the new ingredients. Therefore, I think it balances keeping one's personality and getting along with others. Also, different ingredients would affect the flavor of the hotpot reflecting that my family and friends can have a huge influence on me.

Flamenquín

If I were a dish, I would be flamenquín, because it reminds me of my grandma. She makes them for me and my brothers every other week, and it's simply my favorite meal in the world.
