Hey guys, thyme to get started! An introduction

in #food6 years ago (edited)

Hey Steemit!

Nice to meat you! Ok, I'm done with puns, sorry!

A short introduction; my name is Sofia (not Sonia, as I am often called) and I am currently finishing my masters degree in northern France. My life path has been anything but straightforward. I have lived in several countries, and visited even more. I have worked all sorts of jobs, such as dishwasher, neurosurgery lab assistant, farm hand, and librarian, just to name a few! I love trying different things (clearly..), which makes it no surprise that I’m just as adventurous when it comes to food.

I make up for my small physical presence with a rather large personality, and even larger appetite. Everyone asks me how I eat so much and manage to stay so small, and honestly it’s because I’m constantly moving, but mostly my very very hardworking metabolism (thank you mom and dad!).

I will eat just about anything, anywhere, anyhow. In fact, a life goal of mine is to try as many ingredients as possible; and with that try many different dishes from all kinds of cuisines.

Here I am, last weekend, eating a "galette saucisse". This is a French street food very typical to Bretagne, which consists of a hot grilled sausage wrapped in a cold type of crepe made using buckwheat.

Friends know that I am far from being decisive and can never make a choice (which is why I’d rather just eat a bit of everything..), but if I had to pick my favorite pastime, without a doubt I would saying eating. For me, food isn’t just the assortment of ingredients or nutrients; it’s an experience. What you’re eating, where you’re eating, who you’re eating with, everything. Food can bring people together or tear them apart (my boyfriend @ewefirst getting sassy when I try to eat some of his guacamole), you can shape it into whatever you want it to be, and yet its never the exact same experience twice!

I do not discriminate when it comes to food: texture, appearance, amount.. as long as I can eat it, I’m happy. But it doesn't stop there- I do love eating, but I'm also extremely interesting in the historical, cultural, and economic aspects of food. I am hoping, with your help, to explore the vast world of food.

In a market in Normandy explaining the uses of licorice root. Commonly used as a sweetener in candies and beverages, it is also used to treat several ailments such as stomach problems, sore throat and infections. You can buy a couple sticks and chew on them as needed.

In this blog, I will explore different types of foods, specific recipes, the history of certain foods, how and why we eat things, and more. If you are interested in a specific subject, I am open to suggestions! I can't wait to learn from you all, and hope you're able to learn a bit from me.

Virginia Woolf was right when she said;

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”

Dine well,
Sofia
