This collection of essays was very interesting. The writer found his social identity through memories. He focuses on the few meals his family would cook. There are many motifs that can cause confusion in the identification of families of first-generation Americans, as I have seen. There is a difference between the culture and society from which the parents and their children are born. They are Chinese? Mexican, etc? Or are they American?

However, my mom was originally from Thailand. This gave me a skin that blended in with the Hispanics of southern Oklahoma. As a white person, I was not like Asians or Hispanics.

This story is both melancholic and happy, which I liked. His relationship with his grandmother and mother is the main focus. It’s about how food brings them together, even in difficult times.
I loved the chapter on “Tortillas”. I wish I could have tried those tortillas. They sound incredible, the way he described them. Caldo de Pollo as a medicine is an old tale in mexican culture.

The author could be described as “half”, I believe.-Hispanic,” and the rest are all into assimilation. He wants to preserve some of his heritage through food, while still enjoying Taco Bell’s knock.-In his hometown. I understand. My neighbor said to me once that I was Hispanic, and that my neighbor is “almost white.” True. But, if you look at me racially, I’m just as Hispanic than my neighbor.
