As a child, it used to be so tempting to eat when you were visiting and the people you were visiting were cooking meat. I would wait and wait hoping to be lucky enough to be fed. It wasn’t the beverages but the food, country food. It was always so tempting and looked so delicious. This is what we did as children. Once I went outside, I would notice all the steam coming out of the igloos. That meant that they were cooking something, that’s what I always thought. So whenever I saw that, I would try to go and visit them because there was a chance that I would be fed. That’s how I was as a child and I don’t think I was the only one who was like that.
