This meal (photo from 2017), reminds me of the excellent hospitality of our host, Chief Tony. It also brings to mind a critical role food plays in celebrating bonds as captured by the words quoted below... "A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their own homes. When we gather together in the moonlit village ground, it is not because of the moon. Every man can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so." -- _Chinua Achebe, Things Fall Apart_
