MSJMCW Story

In sophomore year of high school, I attended my first multi-cultural week here at Mission San Jose. They had something of the like at my old school, but it didn't include an entire week of various cultural foods being sold during lunch. I was so excited. I craved samosas, pho, milk tea, dumplings, and nearly every type of food from each culture. I remember eating a lot of food that week and being sad the week after it was over. It is important to indulge in the foods of different cultures. Not only do they have historical value, but they teach you a little bit about each culture: you are able to taste the subtle nuances or drastic differences in each type. I ended up buying mostly Mexican and Asian cuisine. It wasn't all too great because I am a very adventurous eater to begin with and have tried most every cuisine out there. My favorite cuisines are Korean, Indian, and Japanese.

I don't go to multicultural week anymore because all that food triggers me. (http://www.foodaddictsanonymous.org/)
