Imagine closing your eyes and having someone from a distant land take a basic piece of chicken, add their traditional spices which you have never tasted before and those spices are able to transform that chicken into a dish that you love! Now that I have your taste buds watering, close your eyes again and image someone putting a dish in front of you, which looks like a brain with red sauce on it, that dish may be a little harder to eat unless you're able to imagine yourself on an episode of Bizarre Foods.
Though most of us love to eat, the food in India only represent a small portion of what this culture has to offer.The Indian culture also has a strong religious base that is called, Hindu and they have Hindu Gods which are on their temples. Hinduism is the 3rd largest religion and about 84 percent of the Indian race practices Hindu. Hinduism to the Indian culture is what Christianity is to Americans. Like Christianity has variations like Baptist, and Catholic. Hinduism also has variations in their religion. However, in India Christians make up a very small percentage of their population.
As you can see every culture may have different foods or even different religions. However, the kids in India still love to play just like American kids and they play games like Chor-Police which in our culture is called, Hide and Seek so the million dollar question is. How different is the Indian culture from ours?

Hey Devin, I really liked reading your post about the spices,traditional food, and the temples. I think you should read Eli’s report because it also talks about how you can not buy that many good foods from asia in United States. He wrote about Nepalese food not Indian food. But both yours and his share the same connection about buying good asian food in U.S.A. Don't you agree about the connections in the posts?
ReplyDeleteDude you wrote an amazing post! This is like one of the best posts I've seen all school year. Any way I really liked it because of how you described how the food in India is so well. While I'm writing this I am really wanting chicken now. I also like how you included what religion is like there in India. I've only read this post tonight and I can already tell it will be the best. You did a really good job.
ReplyDeleteNice job Devin! I like how you organize the paragraph by food and tradition. I got a question how did the spices food was in Indian and when. How many spices are there in your picture in your blog. I learn lots of things about tradition by reading this. I can see you did this by effort a lot. This make me want to eat spices food.
ReplyDeleteThis really is a great post, Devin! You obviously spent a goof=d amount of time looking up interesting things from the region. Please do be sure to focus on the directions, though. They are in writing on my post, and I went over it out loud twice in class, even having a student explain it in "student words" the second day. Can you see the parts that you forgot to address in this writing?
