Hello dear Steemians,

I'm so excited to be a part of this wonderful community that finds avenues to encourage and support newbie writers like me. Steemit has so much potential to go big Big BIG BIGGG!

I just got started here, and don't have many followers yet. So, this 'Welcome Giveaway' certainly is a warm welcome to me. I'm not too sure which post I should link, so I am just going to link both:-

1. Introductory post of me..more about me blah blah blah..thank you for reading.

2. Here's my first foodie post: https://steemit.com/food/@foodie.warrior/foodie-warrior-2-now-i-know-bat-winged-steaks-exist

Food is really the most common language in humanity. It nourishes us, defines us, connects us, and has the potential to make us happy or dissatisfied.
When we talk about food, we find so much more than epic flavors, ingredients, and textures. I learn about tradition, about relationships, about memories, about cultural similarities and differences.
Think about it. Food is often used to mark special occasions, like birthdays, baby showers, weddings, new births, graduations, anniversaries, etc. It can also be offered as a comfort to someone who is going through a period of mourning. People can also control how they have their mealtimes, and food morphs from a mere necessity into an enabler of healthy conversation, in which families and friends catch up and share experiences.

I guess that's what makes me so passionate about food.

Thanks for eye-balling my post! :)
