and utilization tools, distribution way of food at different levels and aspects including social, customs,
rituals of birthday, preparation, distribution, and gendered considerations in relation to food
consumption and nutrition all show complexity of food systems in human societies and how food is

research, the scholars took an open and amenable approach to emerging new questions to develop a
deeper understanding and thick description of the subject through taking a iterative procedures in
