Thanksgiving is a prime example of two cultures intertwining with one another, “Food, on which man’s identity depends, is not merely nutritional, but a reality rich in values, symbols, and meanings elaborated by the men and women who produced and prepared this food” (Montanari 2). Mashed potatoes identify with an Irish custom, but in return, represent a much larger segment of the world. Although many Americans are not…

Food Narrative Project My dietary habit is mostly influenced by the place where I grew up. In my childhood, people around me fed me with the local food from the southern China. This shaped my taste in my brain and memory, and the food from southern China is considered as my home food since then.

Besides…
