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.

ISLANDS!!!!!!!!
So lets go from Italy down to the islands of the caribean.. Percisely the island of Jamaica. They have many good foods rangeing from curry chicken to ugli fruit. Ugli fruit is honestly the weirest thing you will ever see. But when you peel the fruit it is a big freakin juicy citrus, tangarine, grape fruit all rolled in to one delicous ugli fruit. When you look at the fruit you may not be intised by the weirdness of the skin but if ur brave enough to get to the fruit it will pay off in the end that is a promise. People from the island basicly live off the fruit breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So maybe if you go down to the island you may want to look and probably DEVOURE the thing they call the ugli fruit.

Even though Chinease food is good it is unhealthy!!!!!!!
According to New York Times chinease food may be very very very very unhealthy.. In a plate of General Tso's chicken, for example, is loaded with about 40 percent more sodium and more than half the calories an average adult needs for an entire day. It is shown when you intake to much soidum it retains the fluid in your body which isn't good either. But sometimes when sumthing is good enough you take chances to doit no matter what the risk is.. Sobe careful when you order chinease food from your local restraunt because you can get an overdose of soidum. GOOD LUCK!

Lets Start In France
"How can you expect to govern a country that has two hundred and forty-six kinds of cheese ?" http://www.gdargaud.net/. France, the nation that has been so much cheese was asked how can it be governed. Good thing its just a quote, France i guess you can call the empire of cheese, the cheese capital of the world. As of right now there are 250 to 1000 named cheeses in France. So when you eat cheese on a sandwhich or sub think about what the chances are that the cheese you are eating was more than likely created in France. Funny thought. One of Frances famous dishes is Roquefort Cheese is made from ewe's-milk and comes from the south of France. ie Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. Roquefort is rated as one of the world's greatest blue cheeses.... Learn sumthing new everyday :)
