She talked about how she wanted make it for my dad because he had never had it before, and to her it was always an important part of holidays so she wanted to share with him. The first time he had it, he fell in love. That’s why we still make it to this day. It’s also important to me because it helps me understand what my parents were like before I was born, right when they had just gotten married. When my parents lived in New York they didn’t have very much room for luxuries, so things like banana pudding were the only nice things they had. The interview findings tell how my family bonds over the simpler things in life. Food has brought together both sides of my family, including bringing my mom’s side closer to my dad’s. Banana pudding is a very authentic southern dish, which reflects where my family is from. My great great grandmother made this first, and she was from Atlanta. This dish has deep roots in the south and in my family. I have so many good memories of making this dish, especially from when I was a lot younger. Since we only make it on special occasions, I always looked forward to helping my mom and dad make what I thought was the best thing in the entire world. My parents made sure that as soon as I was old enough, I was able to help them make banana pudding, because they wanted it to become special to me to. If I hadn't helped them and just read a book or something, I don't think this recipe would be nearly as important to me as it is. Being involved in my younger years is really what attached me to this dish, and that's all thanks to my mom and dad. Tradition is important to them when it comes to things like this. It's important to them that I love this recipe the same way that they do, so I can pass it down to my kids, and then they can pass it down to their kids, and so on. Since this recipe was such a big part of my mom's childhood, she wanted it to live on through me. My dad also wanted to be able to spread the holiday tradition and overall deliciousness of the dish to as many people as possible. Banana pudding is a big part of my life, and I hope it continues to be for years to come. Here is my cooking video
