I'm honoured and excited to be your host for the 22nd round of the Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner (BLD) Challenge! Big thanks to our previous round's host, @nannasgotitgoingon, and to everyone who submitted/voted in Round 21 (Food on the Go). Although I have hosted one challenge before this, I was just a sub; this is the first time I've won (and gotten to pick a theme), so it's very exciting for me :)
While thinking about theme options, it occurred to me how many of life's rituals and traditions involve food, so that's what I've chosen for our next round. I worry that this theme could sound intimidating, but I think it's actually quite broad so I do hope you'll all read on-- and then join in!
Please note that Rituals and Traditions is not the same as "traditional foods;" traditional foods could be involved, but they don't have to be!
Rituals and Traditions relating to food can come from various aspects of our lives. They can be religious or ethnic (eg: breaking the fast during Ramadan, piping in the haggis). They can grow up with or pass down through our families (eg: adult children coming home for Sunday dinner, beloved family recipes). They can be things we do with our social circles (eg: a monthly coffee klatch with old friends or pizza with teammates after winning a game). They can even be things we do alone (eg: toast and tea before the kids get up for school). Rituals and Traditions can be part of life's good times (eg: celebrating anniversaries by eating the same food you had at your wedding), hard times (eg: a glass raised annually to a loved one who's gone but not forgotten), and everyday moments (eg: Tuesday is meatloaf night).
I hope that everyone will have a think about how foods factor into the rituals and traditions of their own life, and then share a glimpse (or two, or more!) with all of us here on 365 :) Good luck to everyone who enters!
