My favorite food

If you were asked about your favorite food, would you give an answer to it right away, or would you spend some time thinking about your favorite food? For some it’s not easy for them to decide or come up with a favorite food; they see food as more than something they eat to satisfy their hunger. They believe that every food has a memory that it carries; it tells a story or reminds them of a particular thing.

One thing about this favorite is, without us knowing it, it reflects who we are; it may be a meal Mom always prepared for us or that special food we can only enjoy during celebrations. When it comes to my meal, it is not all about the taste of the food but the emotions attached to the food. A bit or a taste of it is capable of taking us back to memory lane.

For someone like me, nothing beats a warmly made plate of homemade jollof rice; for others, their favorite is rice and stew, noodles, or soup. Some people prefer light meals while some prefer heavy meals. When it comes to favorite meals, our choices are different, and that makes food interesting.

One of the best things about having a favorite food is the comfort it brings after a stressful day. Coming back home and eating your favorite meal can help lift your mood. It must not solve a problem, but it creates a little happiness between you. I don’t know if I am the only one whose favorite food provides comfort and everlasting memories.

Food is one thing that connects us with people; for instance, when we go for birthdays, weddings, and family reunions, food is that one thing we have in common. When we gather around the table sharing meals and telling stories, some of the best moments are created over a delicious meal.

Just like I said, my favorite meal is jollof rice. If you ever come across Nigerian jollof rice, you will understand why it is my favorite; the aroma and the taste are top-notch. This meal is capable of making me promise things. I choose this meal because of the way it makes me feel. Whenever I eat Nigerian jollof rice, it reminds me of home. My favorite food is more than food to me; it nourishes both my body and my heart.

In as much as Nigerian jollof rice is my favorite, it doesn’t stop me from trying other dishes. You guys will ask why jollof rice; it is because of the incredible taste and the memories it holds, and I am always happy whenever I eat it. Whenever it is served, I feel fulfilled.

What is your favorite food? Will you eat the meal over and over again? Why is the meal your favorite food?
