The food that broke through lockdown
b'
On the streets of Bucharest a woman unwraps a package of Chinese pepper ... and falls in love. In Portland Oregon, a family finds a new home - in a farmers market. A food writer opens her front door in London and finds a Chinese banquet waiting for her. On a cold winter\\u2019s morning, in a city 10,000 kilometres away from her family, a woman stands and waits for a taste of home.
As part of the BBC World Service festival exploring how the Coronavirus pandemic is reshaping our social lives, Emily Thomas hears four stories of how food can bring us closer together when we\\u2019ve never been more distant from one another.
