Dear Kristina, This is a great essay. It is very heartfelt. I grew up in San Francisco. My wife is European. I really identified with what you wrote. I love a couple sentences, such as: You must transcend the sin of pleasure; dirt feels honest. There are many more great thoughts, too. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.

I admit to be of the ignorant type, living more on beer than of other stuff. But I liked this. The most joy in eating is when you're really hungry. Or in german: hunger is the best cook/chef.
