My friend group comes from different cultural backgrounds and when we get together, food always becomes this weird competition where everyone feels like they need to represent their culture perfectly. We all love sharing our traditions but somehow it's turned into performance rather than connection, and I think we're all feeling the pressure but nobody wants to say it.
More people experience this than they realize.
Friends are experiencing the burden of cultural representation through food rather than the joy of authentic sharing.
