It is easier to make friends when happy, drinking good drinks and eating tasty foods. This food was brought to a particular party in the past with no intention to participate in initiating a friendship between two people, yet that is exactly what it wound up doing. It simply tasted amazing, and in so doing, it acted as a catalyst for conversation and ensured a warm and open heart (on my side) toward the person who prepared it. Now we are friends.
