![]() ![]() ![]() I know this firsthand.įrom the second we are born, the experience with food is connected to being held, the warmth of our mother’s skin, her soothing voice. Quite beautifully, cooking and eating are out‑of‑body experiences in this story, as they can be in life. The edacious desire in this scene, and throughout the movie, is triggered by a plethora of elaborate dishes. The meal serves as an aphrodisiac for the whole family, especially Tita’s sister, who, get this, proceeds to undress at the table. They’re just eating and being overwhelmed by desire. ![]() In the first ten seconds of the scene, no one is talking. There’s this scene in the film Like Water for Chocolate where Tita prepares quail in a rose‑petal sauce from a rose given to her secretly by Pedro. “The people who give you their food give you their heart.” For Fidellia Holley Alexander and Alice Johnson Smith ![]()
