Write a description of a food memory

FOOD MEMORY

Write a description of a food memory, preferably from your childhood. This could be a memory of tasting or liking/disliking a particular food, or it could be a memory focused on a dish from a particular eating event, collective or individual.
I disliked the meatloaf that my mom would make. It had huge chunks of onion and green pepper in it.
Pay attention to as many senses as you can invoke to evoke this memory. If you recalled a dish at a specific event, talk to others who were also present and see how they remember the dish and the event; analyze the similarities and discrepancies between your recollections.
My brother and sister have the same memories of this meatloaf and neither of them like meatloaf to this day because of that.
Include a brief recipe.
Do a bit of research to place your memory in wider context, incorporating related sources when applicable.
Discuss the cultural, symbolic, social, structural, or other meanings of this dish. Specify the social group for whom it has meaning, for what kinds of occasions and settings is this dish prepared, who is involved in the preparation, serving, and consumption of this dish, background, etc.
Is this a food that unique to your culture?
What are its traditional names? (And do these names have any special significance and/or meaning?)
What ingredients go into making these foods?
How and when are they eaten?
Are there unspoken family “rules” about food consumption (e.g., what’s okay, and not okay, to eat; how and where should one eat, etc.)
