Integrative Studio 1: Memory – Finding your food reflection

I was unable to find my chosen food due to it being a family recipe, I also researched the other recipes that are combined to make my food but sadly I was unable to find those as well.  I researched all over New York trying to find a Czech bakery but most of them did not carry Bohemian Christmas Twist, Czech Braided Bread (Vanocka), or Czech Christmas Hoska.  One factor that played into me not finding my food is the fact that there were very few Czech bakeries in New York.  I did find a few bakeries but the catch was that they were 3 – 5 miles away from where I live and some were even in New Jersey.  In general I found out that there is not a big Czech community in this city because many of the Czech immigrants moved to Texas when they arrived.  It was quite frustrating that I was unable to find my food but it just gives an even stronger meaning to the family recipe that was passed down by generations.
