PINOYexpats: Food for Our National Soul
Context... context is key. That is what I try to remember when working on food and culture topics. In trying to learn more about Filipino food, it is amazing what our neighbours, our former colonisers and those we have had trade relations with can teach us. One of my on-going curiosities is to know what food concepts we share with Indonesians. So far, I haven't found a dialogue partner but I'm sure I'll there will be one in the future.
I also wonder about food and national identity. For the September issue of PINOYexpats, Ruth invited me to write about some of these. Here is the link to Food for Our National Soul. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing.
