Explanation of Apprecitation

My love for food is endless. This does not entail that I eat all the time and stuff my mouth with anything and everything around me. I love the art of cuisine from the preparation, specific concentrations and presentation. Cultures are wrapped up and injected into every entre consumed. From Pescado Verarcruzano (one of my personal favorites) to Speghetti e Polpette to Hush Puppies, each with it's unique flavors, personalities and stories, fills much of the void in cultures that could other wards be vacant with bland and uncharacterized feelings. Imagine a world where every culture agreed to like the same type of food and couldn't waver and get creative according to their diverse interests. Now stop imaging that, because it would be a sad, sad world. One of the most fascinating parts of a culture for me in the varying unheard of dishes I am more than willing to venture into with an open mind and strong stomach. The food of a culture truly reflects the place's character, demographic, history, diversity and influence by alternate cultures. Now you go out there and explore, expand that mind of yours, find yourself off of that beaten path and along the way adventure into new/exciting/unknown cuisines. Trust me it's worth the calories.
