Yesterday, I was minding my own business and scrolling through Instagram, when I saw this question: “Using a food, tell us where you are from.”

What would your answer be? I was born in pain au chocolat, but began elementary school in prawn cocktail crisps, then moved to Detroit-style pizza for the rest of school and college (although we still spent every summer with family in fish and chips). When I was 22, I moved to bagels and lox, where I’ve lived ever since.

Where did you grow up, and where do you live now? Please share below…

P.S. 12 readers share what they like about where they live, and an eight-minute short film that made me cry.
