Our tastes as well as our celebrations may not even be the same. We are unconscious of our culture. We may use the foods that we do because it is just so much a part of our lives. Along with our culture and the other reasons talked about before, the idea that gathering around a table, uniting as friends and family is an important aspect of food and celebrations. When we celebrate it is usually with people we love and trust, or are trying to get to know.
Food is a powerful element that can bring together many different people.
Food is a large part of all holidays and celebrations, not just the major ones we hear about often, but also small everyday family celebrations. Food and celebrations unite people in the same family, giving them a common bond. Celebrations of all sorts, and the food that adorns them brings people from all over the world closer together around one table. A Medieval Feast . HarperCollins Publishers, Mexico, 1983.
