J.R.R. Tolkien Quote

There’s just something about that moment when you realize you’ve hit the ultimate gastronomical jackpot. An ideal alignment of tastes can go a long way and it really impacts the way you look at food. Many of us view it simply as a means to implement nutrients to our body, but it is much more.

The bite you’re taking is a result of a long stretch of occurrences. From the plant or animal that it’s consisted of, to the people that worked to package the product and you – the person who’s gone their way to prepare a delicious meal for their family.

Everything is a process and food is no exception. Every single atom that’s in your morning cereal has been there since the beginning of the universe. It came from wheat in the field, which takes minerals out of the ground. Many remains of animals and plants from many ages ago are in the ground. Nothing disappears or vanishes, food is energy. Energy can’t really be created or destroyed.

That’s why you need to savor every delicious bite you have a chance to ingest. It’s a multi billion-year process that’s been enriched by your cooking skills. You added your mark to something that’s been there for many millions of years. It’s a spectacular feat by itself and therefore deserves recognition.
