If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.  

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people’s houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.

Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

[ I was going to post a long rant about some arrogant white yoga girl who insist people are ignorant for using olive oil to cook and should not eat fish or drink milk or eat cheese because of all sorts of problematic food issues, instead I said, let me focus on those who celebrate food. If you still want to see the link of the article she was waving on her Facebook, there you go. Privileged white people…ugh]

YOU FORGOT THE FOLLOWING POINTS:
LLAMAS HAVE BIG ASS TEETH TO RIP OUT YOUR FUCKING THROAT
ALPACAS HAVE FUZZY LIPS TO NUZZLE YOU GENTLY TO SLEEP
LLAMAS WILL CHARGE AFTER YOU IF THEY SMELL FOOD AND FEAR
ALPACAS AMBLE ALONG LIKE THE WORLD IS MADE OF GUMDROPS
LLAMAS ARE THE FUCKING DEVIL INCARNATE 
ALPACAS ARE NOT THE FUCKING DEVIL INCARNATE

This has been the most informative post I’ve seen on Tumblr.

Yes, they’re cuter. But, look at that fucking llama. He may not be ADORABLEASDFGHJKL, but he is one regal looking motherfucker.

Just to point out because I’m not sure how many people have actually been around Alpacas but so you know, if they do not recognize you they will try to bite and kick you.
Also that charging thing is a crock of crap, Llamas get excited for food but they can be well behaved too.
