酷我-北美枫

My vision of life in multicultural Canada is like eating Chinese hotpot. People of all races and beliefs sit around a table with the hot pot put on the middle. While the hot pot is kept simmering, some cook pork and others leafy vegetables and abalone, some tofu or pomfret, all in one broth sharing with one another. Everyone can choose what she/he wishes to eat as long as the pot and fire are shared along with the good company, which togetherness ensues, soothing their hearts and further warming up their affections foe one another.

Hotpot of communion

Mosaic food is dropped in --

Sounds like Canada.


Note:

CBC Radio One's Sounds Like Canada is one of the most influential radio shows in Canada, aiming to take its listeners to the communities and people who make Canada so diverse, complex and exciting.

Glad to see another person write Haibun on this forum.

Nice one. Enjoyed the theme, very effective imagery - hotpot, a modern Haibun. Thanks for the notes that helps explain the ending line.

Enjoyed it.

By the way, what kind of vegetables are 'lefty vegetables'?

Hi Fanfan.

You are right. Here the culture is melt into each other.

I like CBC radio too since it includes so many different culture views.

Food as cultural expression.

A good try at engaging with "Two Solitudes" Literature of Canada.
