I disagree with your editor. Food and the love of it is important for knowing the character better. As a young person I read about black-eyed peas, grits and collards and couldn't wait to taste jambalaya, etc. Love Cajun!! People in Poland will be cooking up a storm,now!
Well, I tended to go on a bit more than some people cared to read. In the self published version of the second book, I had a description of what everyone was eating for breakfast at one of the kitchen cabinet meetings along with a discussion of how the breakfast foods were clearly indicative of where each person came from--and how we are so set in our ways about what we eat for breakfast even if we are flexible about the other means, and how that was a metaphor for blah, blah, blah . . . . geez Paul, when are we going to detonate some more nuclear ordinance already.
