Right now, America and Japan are deep in diplomatic talks.
The topic? Brisket.
Texans are posting 6.8kg slabs of beef "to our Japanese brothers and sisters."
Japanese people are begging someone, anyone, to open a real Texas BBQ joint before the year ends.
Meanwhile the world is on fire.
Prices are up. Wallets are thin. Nobody's sure what's coming next.
And yet here we are, arguing about smoke rings.
Honestly? Good.
Every living thing has to eat.
Not as a hobby. As a condition of being alive.
So keep eating. Don't settle for bad food. And say thank you to every life on your plate.
Treaties take years.
A good grill takes an afternoon.
Different rules, different tables, different gods, fine.
Bring what you can eat. We'll make room.
Hunger is the one thing every border has in common.
