My family and I, we don’t practice any dietary restrictions. When we have a gathering with people my mom prepares many different kinds of meals for people, like African food, vegan food, and other stuff for people who like different stuff. Sometimes mom calls them to ask them what they like and don’t like so she can make them before their arrival. I was invited to my friend’s sister’s wedding . The whole food was different, from the ones i have not eaten before, it was hard but i tried every food.
