In this post, you will introduce yourself to your readers by thinking about the role which food plays in your own life, and talking about your own food history and foodways. Choose ONE of the following options:
1) Write a profile of yourself based on the contents of your refrigerator or your food shelf. What do the items in it reveal about you? What don't they reveal? Do you think people would get an accurate idea of you based on it?
2) Write about one of your favorite meals. Why do you like that particular food? Where did you first encounter it? What does it reveal about your background, your interests, your personality, your experiences, etc?
3) Write about a food-related memory you have. Why is it significant to you? What does it show about you as a person? What does it reveal about your background, your interests, your personality, your experiences, etc?
In each case, use the prompt as a springboard for a short portrait, a different way of introducing yourself. Be creative in writing your response!
Also, don’t include sensitive information about yourself that you aren’t comfortable sharing with others, as your classmates will be reading and responding to this post.
