Flavors that Raised Us: First Gen & Food

This week, we’re talking malasadas, sweetbread, and soup that could bring you to tears. But like most of our episodes — it’s not really about the food. It’s about memory, identity, and what gets passed down.We reflect on what it means to preserve cultural traditions when you’ve moved away from the language, the religion, or the neighborhood that shaped them. From our mother’s baking to finding joy in overpriced cereal, this episode is full of stories that will hit home for any first-gen kid trying to keep their culture alive — one recipe (or failed veggie burger) at a time.You can find Chocopic, biscoitos, and Portuguese cheese here:l https://shopportuguese.com Follow & Support Us:Ideas for Unapologetically First Gen come from sisterly conversation and caffeine.
