Food relating to culture is something that isn't talked about enough. Food is just something talked about when it's time for someone to eat. Even though people don't choose food as their first choice for any project topic, food has much to discuss and elaborate on. Food is something that can have ups and downs. There are good and healthy foods and there are bad and unhealthy foods. These concepts can be different for everyone who researches this specific topic. Good and healthy foods can be different for people in a variety of cultures just as how bad and healthy foods can be different too. It can relate to the culture’s heritage, religion, or variety of people. Depending on a person's background, the different foods that they are used to or have adapted to making or digesting can contribute to the overall food of that culture.
This project was able to help me really dig deep into how food was incorporated and cultures. This project helped me see that depending on that specific culture they use different techniques and eat different foods that may resemble other cultural foods but are not quite the same. Different cultures require different foods while some foods in those cultures can also resemble some meals in other cultures. Food is food, and there's nothing to differentiate the types of foods each culture uses because even though the dishes may be different, the ingredients can be the same. Those ingredients could just have been prepared differently. All cultures have certain foods that their people are familiar with eating.
