What Comfort Food Looks Like to People Around the
World
①Food nourishes our souls as much as it does our
bodies. After all, who hasn't turned to cake in a time of
sadness, or felt the joy a favorite dish can bring?
②We asked several people who know plenty about the power of food to tell us about the flavors dear to their
hearts.
1 Pandan Cake(斑斓蛋糕)
③When I was little, my younger brother and I would
meet our half brother in London's Chinatown. I would
always ask to go to a bakery to get some pandan cake, a fragrant green sponge that is as fluffy as a cloud. I
would try to resist eating it for as long as possible—the longer I waited, the longer I could imagine what it'd be
like to taste it. I knew that once I'd finished the cake, it
could be a long time before I'd be back to have it again.
④This tradition carries on to this day. Whenever I am
back in Chinatown, I make a point of picking up pandan cake. I do it because I feel comforted by the fact that
the cake is always waiting there for me,whenever it is I should need it, just like it always has been.
—Kim-Joy Hewlett
2 Plantain(大蕉,车前草)
⑤For as long as I can remember, the plantain has given me joy and comfort. When I was a child growing up in Ghana, my mother found many different ways to
introduce this food to our family table.Green,unripe
plantain was boiled and eaten with cooked greens. It
was fried in thin slices and served lightly salted, our
version of potato chips. A few days later, plantains
would be roasting on an open fire, to be eaten
alongside peanuts for a perfect snack.
(类似于炸香蕉片)
⑥And if we didn't have the time to set up the grill? We would boil the plantain and serve it with peanut soup.
Plantain, oh how I love you; let me count the ways ...
—Selassie Atadika
3 Katsu Sando(猪排三明治)
⑦I have always been fascinated by what happens
when Eastern and Western cultures meet, especially in food. A katsu sando shows how good the results can
be. While the sandwich is a very British concept, the
katsu sando is very Japanese. As a kid, I always
thought sandos—whether they were made with pork,
chicken or my favorite, Wagyu (和牛) beef—tasted
luxurious.
⑧As a chef, my cooking has been heavily inspired by it. It is a simple yet blissful way of eating. And when I eat a street food delicacy like the sando, I am reminded of
the way food is a global language that brings us
together.

4 Wild Blueberries(野生蓝莓)
⑨During childhood walks in northern Minnesota with my mother, she would point out the uses of the plants we would find along the way. She never used the word
" weed " , because everything has a history and place in
our lives. She would grab stalks off the ground, saying
something like , " This can ease the pain of a
toothache . "
⑩Whenever I see a patch of wild blueberries, I am
reminded of those moments. Right there in the woods, I savor them in my mouth. When I do, I feel a sense of
connection to the land around me. My chest is filled
with the memories of being loved and nourished, of
having a shared experience — not just with my mom,
but with the land itself.
—Dana Thompson
