On Monday, we presented our food project creations. The premise of the project was to make a
dish that is based in our ethnicity. My ethnicity is Portuguese. I decided to make shrimp
mozambique. At the beginning stages of the project, I did not have a clue of what to make, since
there are so many foods to make in the Portuguese culture , and I did not want to cook out of pure
laziness. Surprisingly, I had fun cooking this project and the day where everyone in class brought in
food! The difficult task with this project was figuring out how to keep the food warm for Monday
when I am cooking on Saturday. I ended up heating up the shrimp in a thermos on Monday morning,
and the end result tasted just fine! I had to leave the shrimp in my car because there was no way I
was going to walk around campus with stinky shrimp. The bad thing was that my car stunk like
shrimp for the rest of the day. I enjoyed hearing what other people made and learning about history
their cultural foods. My favorite food story was the about cannolis' fertility myths. I would have
never guessed that would be the reason cannolis were created!
I too enjoyed listening to the history of the foods from different cultures and loved making (and eating) the food that was brought in on Monday. Try to watch the formatting when pasting the word document over to the blog as it tends to do weird things sometimes
