"They agreed with me, but we were all silent, hearing the trash talk about a divorced great-aunt, a gay cousin, a Muslim son-in-law, the 'low-caste' neighbors; hearing the same kind of grotesque everyday hatred that had been directed at Tamil people for so long."
— Rambutan by Cynthia Shanmugalingam (Page 194)
Haven't yet made a single recipe but these stories and the diversity of food selected for this book is making this a must-read for me. Beautiful work.
