All That Food

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or how you live your life, food has to be an integral part. As humans, we need energy, and we get it from all sorts of places. What’s more, we tend to enjoy exciting foods. No one likes it to be bland or gross. Depending on the place, food tends to take on different personalities and characteristics. Food contains culture. It’s only natural, then, that we have stories about food. We have just such stories today. You’ll hear one about a rice ball, you'll hear another about magical ice cream. You'll even hear a story about dancing. Now, dancing certainly isn’t food, but it definitely is another integral part of many cultures and what makes us human.
