Exoticisms and luxuries.

[jacktellslies]

An unexpected side effect of eating local food is that those things that I eat that come from far away have developed a strange connotation. There is something of the Silk Road about them. Tea, from China! Spices, from India! Chocolate, from South America! The occasional box of macaroni and cheese, from the midwest!

your connection, relationship to and writing about food always makes me smile, smirk or gasp. all in very good ways.

wise, you. perhaps you should write a book? tales of a modern-day fishmonger? i know i'd read it.

I've actually been considering that book for a long time. Thank you for the encouragement. I'll have to work on that.
