The object I’m going to be talking about is my favorite food, Pozole. I chose to talk about Pozole because it’s just not a normal type of food. It is a traditional food that I grew up with. Pozole is made of hominy,meat(pork or chicken,aromatics like garlic and onion.You can also add toppings to it like shredded cabbage or lettuce,diced onion,slides of radishes,limes and tostadas. Pozole can also be described as a Mexican traditional soup. Me and my family eat pozole when it is a rainy day, special occasion or when we have a family gathering. Pozole came from a tradition from Mexico because my grandma informed her kids about it and now my mom passed is teaching me about it. I learned about this tradition when I was like 5-6 yrs old. All of my family and I use this tradition. Pozole is a traditional Mexican food, and can teach us that no matter how far we are from our family members that created this tradition we can always keep it going. Pozole makes me feel so identified by my culture and happy to still have this as a tradition. Pozole is very important to me because it comes from the place that I was born and the place I spent all of my childhood in. I would ask my object, who discovered this food and when ?. I want to learn how my grandma learned how to do it. I want people to understand that Pozole is very significant to me because it just identifies my roots. This story can teach us that we can always keep our traditions alive. This story can teach us about the American experience by informing us that we all have DIFFERENT traditions.
