What is the story of your food-captured photos?

Today, spaghetti is a global culinary icon, enjoyed in countless variations and recipes. It has become a symbol of Italian cuisine and a comfort food in many cultures.
As someone who has worked with the Chinese, Lebanese, Italians, and Japanese I can be able to tell a brief story of my food-captured photo which is Spaghetti

The earliest evidence of noodle consumption dates back to ancient China, where noodles were made from wheat or rice flour and enjoyed as an easy-to-store, long-lasting food source. It is easy to cook and it can be called fast food. Then the influence of Marco Polo came in. The legend of Marco Polo's travels to China in the 13th century introduced Europe to the concept of noodles. Although there is some debate about whether Marco Polo truly brought noodles back from his journey, his writings mention a noodle-like dish, which may have played a role in familiarizing Italians with pasta.

Then moving to the Italian, Italy is often credited with transforming noodles into the pasta we know today. By the 13th century, pasta-making was well-established in Italy, with various shapes and forms. The term "spaghetti" specifically refers to long, thin pasta strands and is thought to have originated in Naples
Spaghetti has a very long story that you and I can not finish telling, but the most important thing is that we are enjoying what we have today, and thanks to anyone who brought it into existence.

What emotions do you wish to convey?

Eating spaghetti can evoke a different range of emotions. On my side, I have so many emotions I'm trying to convey when it comes to eating spaghetti and eggs. First which is;

-Comfort: Spaghetti is often seen as a comfort food and filling nature can provide a sense of comfort and security. It helps me stay strong. Imagine not having a fork to eat spag, you restrategize, either be patient to manage the tablespoon or use your hand as far as you get comfortable eating it.

-Joy: Tasting a delicious plate of spaghetti with a flavorful sauce can bring joy and pleasure. With well-boiled eggs with a glass of fresh orange juice.

-Nostalgia: Spaghetti dinners also remind me of cherished family gatherings or childhood meals, evoking a sense of nostalgia. Gathering to eat spaghetti as a family feels so special, how you'll be dragging on who should take the last strands from the plate (lol)

• Satisfaction: The feeling of being full and content after a satisfying spaghetti meal can bring a sense of satisfaction. Especially when fried plantain is added(stop playing)
  It gives satisfaction, joy, peace, and relaxation all together. How can I not add plantain to my spaghetti?

-Relaxation: Eating spaghetti in a peaceful environment can be relaxing and stress-relieving.

• Love: Sharing a plate of spaghetti with loved ones can convey a feeling of togetherness and affection. Even in the absence of each other, there's that bond that would exist considering something there at the moment makes you think about someone you love.
