The History of SUM food

The history of food can go back to the beginning of time. And over the billions of years that people have evolved food has probably gotten better and better and better. So in time that humans ate first would have to be the cave people eating grass apples or anything they could eat. And then the same food probably until the ancient civilizations that made there own concoctions of food over time. But when the cultures were making there foods it wasn’t known as Chinese or Italian or Mexican it was just a trading market. The cultures would trade there food for other foods or different types of goods that the culture could use. The time when different foods started to go to different places around the world is when people started traveling around to get away from there native lands and make new home or search for better places to start there own town. But as the times changed more people started to travel and then certain foods would get new spices or foods would get a new ingredient. But when it all comes down to the finally say on who was the first person to make and name a meal no one knows the answer or the first country to make a food name. There is no document what so ever to say who made what for the first time but it is a mystery that the experts will probably never know. But in any case what so ever you know the answer please leave a comment to let me know because I am very interested to find out.

to compare and contrast

My blog is on the different cultures and there different styles of cooking. Something I can contrast my project to is the real cultures food compared to the U.S ideas of that type of food. When you compare pasta all pasta is made by essentially the same equipment using the same technology. Also, in independent taste tests conducted by Consumer Reports, Cook's Illustrated and The Washington Post, U.S. pasta either was found superior to Italian imports or the judges were unable to discern a difference between them. Another difference is that approximately 2.75 million tons of pasta is made in Italy each year, while the United States produces nearly 1.9 million tons per year. So i would think the Italians love there pasta. And to back up my opinion the average person in Italy eats more than 51 pounds of pasta every year. The average person in North America eats about 15-1/2 pounds of pasta per year. Another interesting peice of information is the Italians only eat meat a few times a month. So, when they came to America, where meat was so plentiful, they incorporated meat into their cooking more often, making meatballs an American invention. So in some ways you can kind of say they both have there differences. Now to Chinease foods it has been proven that the people of China find that textures and taste are a big part of there culture to where Americans dont like certain textures and taste that the Chinease do.

A food quote..

"As for butter versus margarine, I trust cows more than chemists." Have you ever tried to go on a diet, or look at foods of a cetain meal plan? It usually says either you can't have sumthing to make sure its not a proceced food. In other words don't add any sugar or salts or any other prducts. The best place to find non procesed food is at a fruit stand, or a produce market. The best diet is fruits vegtibles and water with sum protein. But just make sure you eat right to stay healthy.
