This week, in my Writing The Essay Class (Setting a Fine Table), our teacher paired us up, and asked us the question “What is a meal?” A meal, according to Google simply means a large amount of food consumed during either breakfast, lunch, or dinner. That is what I first associated a meal with : eating a large amount at once, and eating with someone else or in a group. But, after listening to my peers I realized that just like contemporary art, a meal can be anything. From eating alone to eating in a group, from take out to Thanksgiving, from cooking yourself to heating up frozen food – a meal can turn into an incredible experience or memory shared with one’s you love, or it can satisfy you’re hunger and that’s it.
