We’re officially the world’s worst dinner guests. Oh, and I moved to Sweden.
The Story
In 2017, I started a food album on Facebook, called “But what DO you eat?”
Part 1 started out as a joke. Every time somebody looked at me and asked “But what DO you eat?” (and in 2017, this happened much more often than you’d think) I’d smile and open the album.
Against all expectations, the album - with my low-quality pictures and sometimes self-deprecating copy - ended up being a pretty helpful research for myself, my vegan-curious friends, my friends’ friends, extended family, and total strangers on the internet. (Pretty cool!)
People started asking for an English version (the first album was in my native Dutch), and I have since added three more albums, each one a little more specific.
I’ve started adding recipes, notes, and comments. Sometimes I run into somebody I vaguely know but haven’t seen in ages, and they recognise me from the food albums, which is really fun!
Most importantly: I still use it to figure out what we’re going to have for dinner.
