Vietnamese cuisine

The Spanish speaking country I picked to research their food and its history is Venezuela. Venezuelans have three main meals: a small breakfast, a large dinner (around noontime), and a very light supper in the evening. Breakfast in Venezuela is a small meal that usually consists of a small pastry or toast served with coffee or fresh juice. Venezuela’s breakfast is all about salt, starch, meat, fruit, and cheese. The largest meal in Venezuela is lunch, which is also when most restaurants offer…

The Identity of An Immigrant’s Child As people transition from childhood to adulthood, their self identity is gained through their careers, achievements, religion etc. Although, it’s not so easy to just simply find your identity. It is said that most teenagers go through an identity crisis on their journey to find their identity. This is true. However, I believe it can be more difficult for immigrant teenagers or even teenager with immigrant parents. The children of immigrant parents have…

Legs of strangers passed me in waves as I sat on the hard, damp sidewalk, my back pressed up against the wall of a 7-11 corner store. The amount of people vacating the buildings around me indicated that it was around noon. Everyone was on their way to lunch, their biggest problem being whether or not they’re going to eat Subway or Nando’s. Meanwhile, I’m sat here having not eaten anything but a bag of chips and a 99 cent chocolate bar in days. A loud growl erupted from my stomach and caused my…

Cultural traditions are found in many households. In Hispanic culture, tamales, corn-based dough wrapped in corn husks filled with meat, are regarded as a holiday treat. Usually, tamales are made twice a year for Christmas and New Year’s. A traditional tamale recipe consists of several steps, and can take two days to get to. The process includes prepping, preparing, and steaming. The process begins with prepping the meat, and will take place on the first day of this two day process. When making…

As I jumped out of the car ready to start the new vacation I was amazed by the vast size of the ship and all I would do this week. The Ocean Spray hit me as we entered the dock. I could not believe I was finally here after what felt like years of waiting for this trip. The ship was a huge Carnival and it had a slide on the top it was a shade of bright red and made me think of a water park in the midst of summer and walking towards the ship I could not stop looking at it. The slide was peaked on…

Fajitas are a favorite around the world. Many people order fajitas at their favorite Mexican food restaurant. However you may be surprised to find out that they are not a traditional Mexican food. In Spanish the word fajita translates to English as "belt" or "girdle" I I can't think of any Hispanic people making themselves belts or girdles for dinner. My own such family would be insulted that one would assume this is truly an authentic dish. Never the less they are continually sold at many…

Before I took Italian 1, I did not know much about the modern Italy. I knew that Italy was a world super power during the Renaissance and rise and fall of the Roman Empire, but I never thought of it to be a modern power. I was very wrong. Italy is still one of the most advance and culturally influential nations on the planet. They are a nation of swift innovation, bold design, and cultural influence. Italy is a nation that historically, and still today, pushes the boundaries in almost every…
