It's good to share food with friends. To connect, and reconnect. Reminisce and dream.
It's good to share food with people.
If food is such a foundational element to establish connection between people, why are the spaces where we can share food so limited, outside our homes? Does this limit our potential for connection?
What could a more open food-sharing space look like? Perhaps:
- Movie nights at the local cafe with cake and coffee before and/or after.
- Inviting people in the fish and chip shop on a Friday night to eat with you at the local park.
- Street party barbecues.
- Sitting at the bus stop with a thermos of tea and a spare cup.
- Joining someone sitting alone at a cafe.
- Inviting the neighbours around for birthday cake.
Food brings people together. Bring food, gather people.
