I thoroughly enjoyed reading this piece, thank you. It felt truly satisfying, as I'm imagining the foods mentioned all do.

I'm really pleased you chose to submit it to Counter Arts.

I'm also now remembering one of the best experiences of my university life, which was the vegetarian (yes, eggplant) moussaka I occasionally ate at a local, family run Greek restaurant. For deeply satisfying warmth on a fairly cheap and simple level, that was an exquisite discovery.
