Dinner

The ancient Romans were a social people, who rather than dining alone with their families, would attend decadent dinner parties at their friends houses. These dinner parties were a ritualistic affair that often lasted for hours at a time. They focused on culture and always had entertainment of some sort, from performers to the guests themselves who contributed by singing, dancing, reciting, and even making up short poems on the spot. This traditional Roman method of dining has been adopted and…

The experience was well worth it for our anniversary dinner. I began with an Italian blood orange martini from the bar. Before ordering dinner, an attentive server brought complementary garlic Parmesan bread rolls. Our braised pork belly appetizer had a great balance of sweet and spicy, and our steaks were fantastic. We ordered the 22-ounce bone-in…

Adult life is messy, gross, and all around nasty. Nothing is more of an example of this than dinner dandruff. At least according to Robert Fulghum’s “Dinner Dandruff”, where he describes the disgusting life of an adult. Fulghum explains that life will be gross at times, but you will need to power through it, because that’s what adults do. He uses a mixture of syntax, diction, and imagery to show how gross life as an adult is. Fulghum uses a mixture of very long sentences, followed by a…

Recently, I had the pleasure of viewing a musical play on horseback. With over thirty-two horses and a cast of top trick riders made this an unforgettable experience. The play was a five-course dinner and a three-hour show all at the same time. This beautifully synchronized show Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction is performed at Dolly Parton’s Stadium in downtown Branson MO. At first glance, I was amazed by how clean and organized the whole building was. The presentation stood way…

week, I have family dinner at my grandparents’ house. I have been attending these dinners every week for the past seven years and still going, never wanting to miss one. These dinners are nothing extravagant but a delicious home cooked traditional Chinese meal and a bonding time for the family. Even though we see each other every week, there is something new to talk about and something to laugh until everyone is in tears. People think there is nothing special about this dinner, but the meal is…

Introduced in 1937, Kraft Dinner is a quick and easy meal option for Canadians. While not the healthiest option, Canadians each consume an average of 3.2 boxes a year and 55% more than the United States according to Chapman (2012). Canadians consume a lot of Kraft Dinner; however, Kraft Dinner should not be considered emblematic of Canadian cuisine. Canada has a very successful and thriving wheat and dairy industry, both of which are major contributors to the manufacturing of Kraft Dinner.…

A convivium was an important part of socialising in upper-class Roman society. It draws many parallels to a traditional Christmas dinner in modern society. Both involve inviting people round to your house, eating a meal them, drinking some alcohol with them and engaging in conversation with them. The aim of both events is in fact the same. To form and maintain relationships through food and drink. However, the two events differ when it comes to how the meal was shared, how people were seated and…
