The meaning or value of a favourite food of yours or that of a close friend or family member
Around the world, I have eaten many kinds of delicious food. As I grew up in Thailand, however, Som Tum is my favorite food. Its name, “Som,” means papaya and “Tum” means crushing. With my family, I eat Som Tum as a salad with pork satay, which is a skewer with meat. Additionally, sticky rice, a Thai specialty, is cooked and served in bamboo. Each ingredient is common, but fresh and natural –nothing is bought processed. Som Tum is valuable as a Thai traditional food passed from generation to generation, because of its simplicity and its richness in nutrition.
