@Heidy,
Hi, Tommaso.
This is a good question about our relationships with food.
I'm an irish-american from California who happens to love Italy. I went there for the first time in 1988, and ever since then the majority of my cooking is based on italian regional foods. I like foods from many other places, but italian is my foundation food now.
My relationship with it? I think of italian food as comfort food. No matter the specific dish, the tastes seem to connect best with whatever spot in my brain has food recognition.
What area are you from?
