“The Final Meal” Going to see The Last Supper: 700 Plates Illustrating Final Meals of U.S. Death Row Inmates was an amazing experience. This artwork is displayed in the Texas State art galleries on the second floor. Julia Green the artist put detail into each plate to display what foods inmates craved or refused to have right before being executed. These plates allowed you to take a guess on what race, religion, and culture these people where from without knowing who they were. Julia used…
facts that living beings need it for nutrients and not die of starvation. As for myself, it’s fair to appreciate what we’re able to craft with our hands and imaginations, let alone satisfy our appetites. Here’s a guilty pleasure of mine, PIZZA. Pizza is loyal; pizza…
carelessness is prevalent in his essay. One of his main critiques involves a pizza parlor and the customers that go to it. "Such shops often get prank orders, called ‘bogus.' Because help seldom stays long at these places, pizzas are often made with the wrong topping, refused on delivery for being cold, or baked incorrectly" (2). Basically, he tells the reader that people – college students in particular – prank call the pizza shop and place false orders just to amuse themselves. However, what…
saved myself and just eats it without asking or admitting that they ate my food when I asked them. I remember coming home from school one day, as soon as I got home, I went to the refrigerator to get my leftover Pizza Hut from last night, when I saw that somebody left a empty box of pizza and wings in the refrigerator I was so mad because all day that I was in school I was thinking about the leftover food that I had ordered the…
beginning there... was… pizza. Biblical references aside pizza is truly a piece of both foreign and ancient art we, as English speakers, call “food”. To obtain even the most primary of ingredients you except you any person speaks the word pizza, a vast array of events must of occurred. I am talking about food items like tomatoes, which are normally used in the sauce in pizza, cheese, the overall topping used to cover the pizza itself and the flat bread, the very basis of all pizza. The gain…
PEOPLE LOVE PIZZA BECAUSE… Have you ever wondered why pizza is so loved all over the world by billions of people? It is technically a very difficult to know as to why everyone really love pizza. One of the major reasons is probably the fact that it is versatile, because you can literally put anything on a pizza, you can put any type of food for your toppings. There are pizza places where they put chocolate instead of tomato sauce, and fruits instead of cheese or meat. It would also depend on a…
the USDA, on any given day, 13% of Americans will have consumed pizza (Rhodes). Be it the sauce-on-the-top deep dish of Chicago, the "pizza on a cracker" from St. Louis, or, God forbid, frozen—the United States loves this Italian entrée. However, it seems that many people do not consider the science behind the creation of this popular cuisine. But I have. I worked in an Italian eatery for almost a year-and-a-half and made more pizzas than any human should be subjected to. Because of this…
The Italian culture has been one of the oldest and one of the most significant culture in this country. This is due to the fact that a lot of European migrated to the United States long ago. Like it is stated by the book Food and Culture by Kittler and Sucher “Today there are approximately 14 million Americans of Italian descent, most of whom live in or around major cities.” (pg 136). One of those major cities with a large population of Italians is New York City. Migrating to a new country with…
wheat bread. The bread was toasted perfectly for my liking. It was made in buffet style, so there were lines sometimes. When there were lines for the sandwich I would eat pizza. The pizza was also buffet style. The options of pizzas were pepperoni and cheese. I always chose the pepperoni pizza because I like the meat. The pizza was thin crust so I would eat four pieces at a time to satisfy me. On one of the three nights we were on the ship me and my family went to a fancy restaurant. We had to…
handing Dan the change. It was two singles. Dan looked down at the money, back up at the rapper, down at the money again, and once more at the rapper. “Awesome! Thanks for the CD!” Dan said offering a fist bump as he walked away. I walked to the pizza joint following Dan’s lead. Nothing was said between us as we made our way over. I honestly didn’t know what to say. I wasn’t sure if Dan knew what had just happened. Did he really not realize that he had not only taken the CD from the rapper,…
