In my readings this week, I switched topics somewhat. I am now reading the book called Consuming Passions. This book is more like short stories of people’s personal experiences with food. As we discussed in seminar this week, people interact differently with each other when they are in different spaces. I never really thought of us interacting differently, but it is so true. The way I interact with people in  classroom versus my kitchen are totally different because of the space and the vibe. I believe people interact with food and have different connotations with it, because of specific memories they hold with it. For example a lot of people like white rice, it is somewhat of a staple for many.  To me white rice is disgusting because I link it with specific memories to when I was a child and it reminds me of certain things. When I taste it I just remember my parents trying to force me to eat it as a child and I HATED the taste. Even though my taste buds have radically changed since I was a child I still can’t stand the taste of white basmati rice. In Consuming Passions it tells stories of people and integrates recipes into it.  I enjoy this book quite a bit and its very similar to Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant. When I finish this book by Friday I plan to cook a recipe out of it!
