My favorite types of food are italian and mexican. I decided mexican, because there is more of a variety of options and types of foods. I started off with the base and core ingredients that are used to make enchiladas, and then I added some to make it my own. I even researched different types of herbs and spices that would mix well together in a mexican dish. I also wanted my enchiladas to be healthy, because my health is…
Canned fruits and vegetables, contrary to belief, have the almost the exact same amount of nutrients as their fresh counterparts. Salt and sugar levels can be controlled by providing the little-to-no salt vegetable options and 100% fruit juice or water packed fruit options(It All Matters!). Barbara Klein, Ph.D., Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois, and Rhonda Kaletz, M.S. of the University of Illinois confirm in their study Nutrient Conservation in Canned, Frozen, and Fresh Foods: “Due to the minimal deleterious[harmful] oxygen during storage, the nutrients in canned and frozen fruits remain relatively stable for consumption”(“Know the…

Salsa music provides hispanic people with a platform to express their culture through the use of various rhythms and beats. Salsa’s creative outlet paved the way for many famous artists, including Tito Nieves who stars in the off broadway play I like it like that. This play focuses on a family living in New York City during the 70’s. During this time period, the city was under many hardships that affected people's everyday lives. The terrible economy and high crime rates at the time made it stressful for many New Yorkers, but Salsa provided hispanics with an escape.…

When people think of Hispanic foods they think hot, spicy foods, lots of flavor, rice and beans, and tortillas. When people think this they are not wrong, Hispanic food is a flavorful and many spices are used; the culture and its people’s customs have much to do with this. According to Grace Austin and Damian Johnson of Diversity Journal “the term Hispanic alludes to a person’s place of origin, referring to persons from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central and South America.” Since there are many different sub groups within the term Hispanic, I will narrow it down to the Mexican culture since each subgroup does vary in the foods they choose to eat and the spices they mix in. Foods, flavor and spices that Mexicans use mostly are strong in taste,…

Salsa means sauce that is a mixture of various dance moves from different cultures that has been merged together. It all started when African slaves were migrated from Africa to Latin America. By combining Danzón dance of French and Haiti immigrants, Rumbas of African slaves, Són of the Cuban people, troubadour music from the Spanish people and various musical instruments of Africa. After the second world war, Puerto Rican musicians began to experiment in new combination and ways to improve the established styles like the plena. The presence of Cuban exiles due to the Batista dictatorship migrated to the island of Puerto Rico thereby Cuban music and rhythms in particular the “Són” made its presence and were accepted and adapted to the mix.…
For centuries, song and dance have been a vital part in creating and expressing a community’s sense of identity. Through each, members are able to pass on traditions, make political statements, and express themselves. The tango and salsa styles of music and dance are prime examples of mobilities in Latin American music that help foster a sense of identity among the smaller communities, although each required international attention before earning recognition from its home country. Each style of music is a special hybrid of all kinds of influences, demonstrating a deep history that can also give some insight to the social outlook of the times. Despite the time gap between the emergence of the two styles (tango first appearing in the early 19th century while salsa came into the scene around the 1970s), both styles have contributed a significant impact in establishing a sense of identity among Latin American music.…
Introduction: A couple of weeks’ prior, my lab partners and I examined mild and hot salsa, not knowing the purpose for the trial. As individuals we know that salsa will have our nose runny, eyes watery, some will break out and sweat. Although we know these things we never address the explanations for these reason why our body react a certain way toward salsa. I thought it was all right for a person to feel that way.…

Ranked fifth in worldwide production amongst other fruit crops and often considered the “king of fruits”, the mango is well known for its delicious, succulent taste and many nutritional qualities. It is classified within the genus Mangifera belonging to the Anacardiaceae family which includes the cashew, pistachio, and other edible fruits. The Mangifera species can be found in abundance in the islands of Indonesia, the Malay Peninsula, Indochina, and the Philippines (Litz 2009). In particular, Mangifera indica can trace its roots back to southern Asia. It is a native to eastern India, Burma, and the Andaman Islands of southern Asia, and is believed to have been cultivated for more than 4000 years in the same location (Morton & Dowling 1987).…
Here, it is useful to turn to Cruz’s positioning—both as a gendered and racialized subject—in the salsa industry to understand the factors which led to her recognition, and the tensions inherent in her success and visibility. Since the late 1980s and early 1990s, women have been influential to the production and development of salsa, especially as the genre struggled to enter a new era of Latin musical production in the U.S. (Aparicio 2002, 136). Artists like Celia Cruz, Yolanda la Duke, and La India gave much to the genre in terms of artistry and sound, but the overt masculine gendering of salsa made it easy for their contributions to go unrecorded. The invocation of drugs, sex, and violence in many classic salsa songs (El Malo [The Bad] or…
