Foodie Memoirs

Write about a dining experience that significantly altered your approach to food.

In this prompt, you’ll be deviating from simply sharing a favorite recipe or lovingly recalling a memorable meal. Instead, you’ll explore a singular experience that made you rethink food and its role in your life. Was it a culture-shock-transcending cuisine? A transformative cooking class? Perhaps it’s about a time you had to sustain yourself on limited resources. This reflection will bring out food’s universal and yet deeply personal role, its connections to our culture, relationships, and even our identity.
