Richmond Taste Epiphany

This world presents us with an unending struggle to survive. We, as humans, have been accustomed to surpassing to those challenges of survival to a point where our necessities have been brushed under the carpet and replaced with desires. While not completely separating need from want, we have molded our need for food into an experience on it's own account. One, from a foreign stand-point, could say that we practically worship food as much as we fight for it. Whilst our bodies need a combination of simple and complex carbohydrates, proteins and fats, we have developed the want for food into one of the greatest social innovations of all time.

Food has the power to go beyond vocal interaction and be used as what one might say is a "weapon of peace." The sharing of different foods from opposing cultures has done so much as to bring leaders from rival nations to the same table. Food in the present day would happen to be one of the greatest icons of the social acceptance of diversity.

Today in Richmond, the capital city of Virginia, there is a great representation of this as Richmond itself is home to the very definition of the word diversity. I invite anyone who is intrigued about Richmond's broad choice of cultural cuisine to be brave, bold, courageous, or just curious and do more than just nibble bit off a fork to make up one's mind.

(I will update this blog as often as possible about the edible choices to be made in Richmond)
