Does food make us humans? What is a balanced meal in indigenous cosmologies? Do you know what is the favourite meal of people close to you and could you recreate it?
Grab your favourite drink, tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, and settle in. Today, we’re diving deep into food, culture, health and identity with a very special guest. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Elena Fusar Poli, researcher and lecturer in food anthropology at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Italy. Elena takes us into her fieldwork with indigenous communities in Oaxaca, uncovering powerful insights about how food shapes who we are. This is not just a conversation about eating: it’s about belonging, memory, and meaning. So, get cozy, and let’s begin this fascinating journey together.
