Terroir Talks: Food & Identity

_“The pleasure of the table belongs to all ages, to all conditions, to all countries, and to all areas; it mingles with all other pleasures, and remains at last to console us for their departure.”_ Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, reflecting on food's universal importance. -- Through migration and trade our foodstuffs evolve to reflect ever changing societies - their power, their conflicts, their natural environment and the love within them. More than anything, the food we eat represents interconnected relationships which transcends national borders. How we connect to our foodstuffs is a reflection of our identities. culture, environment, history and so much more...
