Favorite food: come rain, come sun.

Hello, everyone.

Growing up in the northern part of my country made me realize that the environment you live in can actually affect the type of food you enjoy and make your favorite. In the north, rice is a predominant food, eaten almost every day by families, and even if there is a change of food, it might be rice prepared differently. It was like every family in our neighborhood had it all planned out: you eat rice during the day and then eat something else at night, and funny how we never got tired of consuming this particular food despite how often and continuously we eat it.

I have eaten a lot of food and loved it all. Choosing a favorite seems like a difficult thing to do, but we all have a particular food that, even when sick and we are served this particular meal, we could still eat a spoon or two with no questions asked. For me, rice is that food; no matter how it is prepared, it is fine with me; just make sure it is tasty and a bit spicy. It doesn't matter if it was prepared with sauce, stew or jollof; I just go with it as long as the taste is good.

I did not know how to cook, but I was forced to learn how since my parents were very busy and I had my younger siblings to look after. With this, I had the power to decide what we ate and what to cook. I always cooked rice since it was easy to prepare and could be prepared in different ways and with different recipes. I grew up to love it, so it became my favorite. Now I never get tired of eating rice; I can eat rice for a whole week and not ask for another food as long as we keep changing how it is prepared.

Funny how whenever I eat out, I only order rice, and when they don't have it, I find it difficult to order something, and I keep hearing a voice deep inside my head saying that I should just check somewhere else and not waste money on something else. Rice is my favorite, and how it can be prepared in different ways is something that makes me love it more. How rice is prepared varies from one individual to another; it all doesn't matter, as all that really matters to me is how tasty and presentable it looks.
