Why is Almu important?
When people react with the word “ew” to a food it insults both the food, the cook and even the culture or people that eat it. Respecting food is respecting other cultures. Often people may react in this manner because it is simply a misunderstood cuisine. With knowledge and understanding celebration and enjoyment of food can exist. Globalization has helped people gain access to trying new foods, however by increasing multicultural awareness through food we can help unite people. This is why it is so important for people to have these conversations as they break break bread around the table. Almu helps educate people and increase that access to people from all over.
Why was Almu created?
Growing up as a minority, I was always embarrassed to have foods for lunch that looked different. Going home I would sometimes have countainers full of food that I had not eaten because I was too embarrassed and scared of what other people would say. Nobody should ever feel this way. Food is not shameful or embarrasing. It is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated with everybody. With Almu, children and adults alike can enjoy these meals and get a chance to experience different parts of the world and gain a better understanding and appreciation of other cultures. Almu stems from the Spanish word almuerzo which means meal or lunch. What will you have for Almu today?
