If you’re a newcomer in Canada, being away from home always makes you feel like something is missing, no matter how much time has passed. You sometimes find yourself missing your mom’s cooking, your dad’s jokes, your cat’s silly behavior, your room, and the times spent with your friends. You try to find some similarities in the places you go, the food you taste, the people you meet and it definitely reminds you of someone or something that you used to have. It is the most natural and genuine effort you make to feel like you belong where you are right now. 

Immigrants Struggling with Belonging 

When you’re thousands of miles away from your loved ones, something as simple as taking a bite out of a food that reminds you of something you used to eat back home could be the closest thing to physically being there. By triggering one of the primary senses of a human being; Taste, a simple eatery product could eliminate all the discomfort and stress caused by being in a foreign land and take you back to the warmth of your own home as if you’re tasting your grandmother’s recipe, even if its only for a short amount of time. There are countless types of food products among many different cultures all over the globe. Among these different cultures, in some of them, how a meal is consumed is equally important as what is eaten; To clarify, in some nations it’s well known that a meal – especially breakfast and dinner – does not only mean to eat but to gather around the table with family and eat together, sharing that valuable time with loved ones. People coming from such cultures who live abroad do not only miss the taste of the food but also the time that they used to spend with their families during a meal.
