Food to places are like places to food. They’re each other’s metonymy. Besides memories attached to a place and food, food grows out of a place and that makes food place-specific. What tags attached depends on the market it reaches. Dates grown in California ending up as your favourite dry-fruit laddoo in Delhi, your inevitable buy each time, is well a food that belongs to many places – through growth, memory, and sentiments – all valid, all fair.

Issue 04: Hyperlocal
Speaking of man-made, who decided what is local to a place? Can only native, indigenous things be local? If origin doesn’t make something truly hyperlocal, what does? Could it be the destination?
