The way you write flows so natural and soft. It's amazing to think about our relation to a different culture's food. For instance, how is Mexican food my favorite (sounds like one of yours, too!) when I am a white girl from Midwest USA with a Polish heritage? There's something about Latin cuisine that moves me in ways no others have. You've done a great job expressing that! I also tried a margarita at my job tonight that made my tongue and cheeks ache in a way that naturally brought a smile to my face. Coincidence? I think not! Jill What a beautifully written piece.

Beautifully evocative and totally sums up how I feel about food and travel. A much more poetic justification of my gluttony than I could have come up with! Writing to aspire to, Sarah, thanks.

It's true that foods and smells can conjure up so many memories of culture and place. I brought all sorts of packages of Pakistani and Indian spices back with me from Lahore, and when I feel a pang of mourning for being stuck in the US getting my degree I cook up some chicken jalfrezi and lamb curry.

I was half-way through before I realized you were the author and went back and checked the byline to verify it. A great piece, Sarah.

We love finding the local foods, textures, and flavors of a community as well, but this really pinned down exactly what is so precious and alluring about it. This was so well-written and sensual!
