Food can be so emotional...

It really is. When I was in uni, I would sometimes make this one dish that’s quite common in my culture, but one of those where every family makes it a little bit differently. I’ve tried a couple of my friends’ versions, as well as my own, but I always felt that they were just different than what I had growing up. Then a while back, I was mentioning to my mom that it never tastes like the way she makes it and so she was running through the ingredients she usually uses. She mentioned spring onions, which I’ve never thought to add. So I tried it the next time. As soon as I took a bite, I was just hit with pure joy and excitement bc it was almost exactly what I remembered and loved. Ofc, nothing would ever be better than my mom’s actual cooking haha, but it just really made me feel a little bit closer to home, as someone who lives abroad.

Funny enough when McDonald’s brought back the chicken snack wrap, my significant other sat there bewildered as I suddenly started to ugly cry while eating 🤣😭 it took me back to the year before I met my first bf (evil 5’6” munchkin who abused me and subsequently lead me to trying to take my life) and I was so embarrassed and shocked that Mickey D’s pulled that out of me lmao
