A food cultural construct from a Nigerian American perspective:

Food is human fuel. Food is a source of good health and wellness. Food nurtures and nourishes the body for optimum health if wisely selected and consumed. Conversely, food could also be a source of poor health, with very costly lifetime consequences. Food is universally acknowledged to be an integral component of a people's culture. What is more, it also singularly defines them as a people. To express it with even greater clarity, from time immemorial, cultures have sought some form of ethnic identification through the foods that are peculiar to them. As an extension of this trend, immigrants in countries other than theirs have leaned towards the use of food as a means of fostering their own cultural identity in foreign lands. Yet, finding themselves in these foreign lands, and although most immigrants share common tales of a cultural shock at the sight of strange foods upon arrival at a Western country, it is only a matter of course that they will inevitably have to explore the foods that are peculiar to their newly adopted home.
