Gather and Savor: How Food Brings Us Together
By Tammy Davis
“Who made the potato salad?” It’s a common question at family gatherings or dinner parties. If you’re a first-timer attempting this “delicacy,” all eyes might turn your way, wondering if your dish will make or break the meal. But if you’re already crowned the heavyweight champion of the family’s best potato salad, a collective sigh of relief, laughter, and perhaps a happy dance usually follows. Whether it’s potato salad, Aunt Mary’s shepherd’s pie, or Uncle Joe’s famous beef ribs, food has a special way of bringing people together.
From holidays and weddings to funerals, dates, and casual cookouts, food often serves as the nucleus of these social events. It’s how we celebrate, mourn, share, exchange, and learn. No matter who you are or where you’re from, food is a universal language.
