I actually have a best food, and this best food of mine is one I can never get tired of,and I mean it. My favourite and best food is Rice and beans and their are various stories surrounding that food which I would share shortly.
A few years ago I was down with illness, it was my own that dragged on for years and led me to start experiencing various surgeries and all. During that period, anytime my doctor says I can now eat or try little food I always request for either rice and beans or Semovita with Ewedu soup (it is a local soup here). The shocking part is, before I fell ill I didn't use to take that Ewedu soup. The reason being that it is a draw soup, but it became my go-to food when I fell ill.
It shocked everyone. But then, my doctor has also said I should try different foods and see which works best with my stomach and all. So, I was experimenting with various foods. But those two seem to be the best around that time. Anytime I'm asked what I wanted to eat I either request for rice and beans or Semovita and Ewedu soup. That was what I ate most on the sick bed back then, but immediately I was discharged and was told I can now go home to continue my healing journey, I lost interest in Semovita and Ewedu again. It shocked everyone again.
But I was still eating rice and beans, but then they felt I would soon lose interest in it as well. They thought my love for it would die off when I regain my overall health back. Well, I thought the same too. But then, it didn't happen. Today, years later, rice and beans still happens to be my favorite food. I just love it, I can't explain why.... honestly. And I'm not the type to eat out but then if I'm eating out, it will still be rice and beans.
This meal is actually an ordinary food for many, but for me it goes beyond just that. It carries memories of strength, recovery, healing, and hope.
