SC-S29/W2- Nostalgia Of The Liitle Me : Childhood Food Memories

During my childhood, I knew nothing about food that much, and whatever was provided for me was what I would eat and be happy with myself, until one day when my mother took me to my aunt's house where I ate toast bread with egg.

What childhood food or dish do you still remember clearly, and why is it special to you?

Toast Bread with egg is the childhood food that I can remember clearly for how I got to know about the food. When my mother took me to her sister place for visit I was given toast bread with egg and tea and it was from there that felt in love with toast bread and egg. Toast bread with egg is special to me because it is a good that reminds me of my aunt and I really like eating bread.

Who usually prepared this food for you, and how did it make you feel at that time?

It was my Aunty that first prepared toast bread with egg for me. As my mother got to know that I like toast bread with egg more than any other foods she began preparing it for me almost every morning which she would serve with tea for me. Eating toast bread makes me feel happy, special, and loved by my parents and relation which I were the only princess in my family.

When and where did you usually eat it (home, school, village, special occasions)?

I used to eat toast with egg and tea in the morning. My mother said to me that light foods are meant to be eaten in the morning which is usually toast bread with tea which I often eat more at home and at my aunt's house in the village whenever she returns.

What emotions come back when you think about the taste, smell, or moment?

When I think about the taste, smell, or moment the emotions that come back are:

• Sensory Pleasure and Joy: How I experience sensory pleasure in response to liked tastes, textures (e.g., crunchy), and smells which leads me to increased consumption of toast bread with egg.

• Safety and Comfort:, a sense of comfort, conversely, unfamiliar, or disliked textures (e.g., soft foods) might cause rejection or anxiety when I am being served with food.

• Positive Association: Eating toast bread with egg links me to my childhood happy emotions, while at the same time relieving hunger, which is inherently

Is this food still part of your life today, or does it remain only as a memory?

Yes, this food is still part of my life today which I prepare and eat most time. The ingredients are; bread, egg, onion, baking butter, and pepper.

In preparing it, I wash pepper and onion and then sliced them and broke the egg into a bowl, where I then added the chopped onion and pepper with a pinch of salt and mixed it properly, and placed a pot on fire.

I don't dry it, I only allow the pot to get hot. I added a little amount of baking butter to the pot, then poured in my already mixed egg, all this process was done on a low heat, so after pouring in my egg, I placed a slice of bread on the egg.

Next, I allowed it for a few seconds then flipped it upside down, so that the other side could also be toasted, I added some more butter again, to make sure that my bread was well-toasted and did not get burnt, I also added another slice of bread on the other side after flipping the egg.
