They Say I Say 20 Time Project
Cassie Calkins Period 6
To start off
with what my twenty-time project is… I want to cook foods from all around the
world. Whether those foods originate from Greece, Japan, German and even
Spain. People say that cooking foods
from all around the world is a very boisterous and out their idea. They mostly
ask, why? It seems like so much work, too look up a bunch of random recipes.
They also say that it seems very expensive. They say, what if you find a fish
dish from Japan that you’re extremely interesting in cooking, and it adds up to
be sixty to a hundred dollars to buy the ingredients. These people have very
broad statements about the idea of cooking foods from all over the world.
In one of the articles, named “What Americans can Learn from
Other Food Cultures”, demonstrates a Korean- American’s point of view about all
of the cultures and foods displayed around the world. This man himself says
that cultures do exist all around the world. The people who live in Korea say
that “preferences are personally meaningful (meaning food), and can also be
culturally meaningful.” They say that even though their food can migrate from
Korea to the United States; where they currently migrated too, can have a
completely different meaning to the people inhaling the food in a different
country. That the people who make their own personal food for example America
owns the name for Donuts and Cheeseburgers, that it’s not the same when someone
basically “copies” their recipe and everything and cook it in a different
country. People have meanings for their foods and some people abuse that
definition. The article also states, “Most cultures don’t think about their
cuisine in such monolithic terms… French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian
cuisines each comprise dozens of distinct regional foods.” I have also
developed a superior knowledge of how civilians of their own country get very
personal about their traditions and foods. Too
move on, I say that cooking all sorts of food whether those foods be desserts,
little snacks, appetizers, or even full course meals will help be develop a broader
and good sense of knowledge about all of the traditions and cultures that exist
all throughout the world. I mean I think it’s crazy to think that thousands of
miles maybe even millions of miles away, someone is doing something that I
think is completely absurd and out there …when really it’s their everyday way
of life in their ritual and lifetime. I say that learning about all of the
millions of cultures that occur out there in the world is absolutely so unique
and unordinary to do…
From reading this article I have developed many maybe
inquiring questions about these traditions that I am hoping to find out later
on. Some for example would be, has their traditions and foods developed over
the centuries, in their opinion?
