In my TIB I talk about how food tells a story how it influences people and how people influence food. This is exactly what happened to me. I let food lead me to where i am now. I let food take me to my current degree and job. Before listening to food I was not happy. I was going with the flow and living the typical cookie cutter life, but once I listedn to my food I am now creating a life that others want to follow.
I am now able to help others listen to food and take it to where they desire. My food lead me to a degree and job, but for others it can lead them to a new lifestyle, new friends, or new expereinces. The places that it wil them is endless. SO I encourage the next time you go out to eat or sit down for a meal to take a bite and see what it tells you and see where it leads. It may surprise you what your sandwich may say to you.

I associate food with memories. When I eat certain foods that my grandmother used to make or my family always has on certain holidays it conjures up memories of those times. I don't know if a food has ever "spoke" to me. You may have to teach me that trick.
I love the idea of "listening" to your food. This would be really interesting to explore actually using the sense of hearing. This could be tied into Kata's idea of associating food with memory. For example, when I think of ham and bean soup I "hear" the rattle and hiss of the pressure cooker as it released steam while simmering the soup. Bacon frying. Coffee percolating. A burger on a grill. All those sounds can be vivid parts of a memory and now I can consider what they are trying to tell me too.
