I've long thought that the dinner table is the direct route to better world relations, though I've not expressed that idea as elegantly as you have here. I once spent a birthday dinner with a group in which we did not collectively share a language and it remains one of my favorite travel memories, ever...all that awkward translation, all that effort to communicate, all that love for good food and company.

Thanks for this. It made me happy and hopeful.
