My cousin and I bonded over a night market tour last week
I've seen that street food tours can really bring people closer. We ended up trying dishes we never would have alone, and it sparked some great conversations. It was a simple way to connect without any pressure.
I remember bringing these dried squid snacks to a party once. People were honestly scared to touch them. Then this one guy, who was really quiet, perked up and said his grandma used to make something like that. We ended up talking for an hour about weird foods from our childhoods. Funny how that works.
