I love it when my two favorite subjects overlap: food and sports. The best part isn’t the unique products like this soccer-shaped cookies-and-cream ice cream, but the conversations that are started.
The exchange of joy and knowledge after customers asked about my FIFA Mexico jersey lightened up an otherwise exhausting day.
I asked one of them who they were rooting for, and they said England or France.
His friend jokingly poked at him, “Why aren’t you rooting for your own country?”
I inquired, “Where are you from?”
He replied, “Ghana.”
“I’ll rep your country then,” I promised, “I’ll get a Ghana jersey.”
The jersey is on its way.
The World Cup may be a competition, but to me, it’s a celebration; a celebration of different cultures, sportsmanship, and unity.
Good luck to all of the World Cup teams.
¡Olé Olé Olé México! 🇲🇽
Black Stars, Rise! 🇬🇭
