Cultural Food
When people talk about food from other countries, they
usually think about some stereotypes; for example not all American people eat
pizza or hamburgers, also not all Chinese people eat anything that moves.
This topic is very interesting because people from all
around the word eat different types of food every day. People from different
backgrounds eat very differently; and as
I said earlier, it’s very common think
stereotypically when you hear specific
words or phrases about some countries or foods.
No matter where we grow up or live, eating is one of the
most personal experiences of life, that’s the reason why food is an important aspect of each culture,
because food represents the nature or identity from each country.
A CROSS-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE
People from different nations generally have thought like
that, and it’s because each culture has its own food taboos.
Some Indians find eating cows gross but it’s normal to
Westerners, while some Peruvians eat
cats, some don’t.
The food not serves only to provide nutrients and energy, is
also a way for the people to remember its own culture and especial moments.
Every culture has its own standards for
what is socially acceptable and what is not socially acceptable, right now we
are part of a cross-cultural globalization, that’s the reason why we can found
many different kinds of food, customs and people in different countries. As
part of the globalization process happening all over the world, you should open
your mind every moment to other customs, people and different ways to
think. The food preserve the culture and
contribute to connect the people that’s the most important reason why you
should be more tolerant.
