It's fascinating how deeply childhood experiences shape our relationship with food as adults.

Your reflection on your mother’s past really highlights how those early memories of scarcity can transform simple meals into powerful emotional connections.

Food is such a primal necessity, yet it carries the weight of so many personal and cultural stories.

For your mom, it wasn’t just about nourishment, but a way to revisit and relive her past, both the hardships and the small joys.
