I chose this picture because it shows how food, in this case through a picnic can bring more than just people who are close to us together. I found the quote while i was searching for pictures, it was written about a picture where many different nationalities were eating together. These people might not all know eachother but they are all brought together by something that everyone has in common.

CAKE

an important foodway that is seriously represented in our community, that is the american community is the use of cakes and other sweets at birthdays and other celebrations. Americans all over the country eat some kind of sweet food during birthdays, most often cakes. Cake is almost always eaten at weddings too. oh and cake is super delicious but i dont think thats the reason most people eat it on special occasions, to be honest i think it has more to do with tradition than anything

TOPICS AND SUCH

OK so my first possible topic is about this nasty hot dog eating contest poster. I dont know exactly why i think its interesting but I really really do think it is. I mean look at those two dudes on the poster go at those hotdogs. Like I just like how food can be used not only in all the ways we discussed in class but it has even been adopted into an actual contest. And that these contests are participated in by nationalities across the world(as can be seen by the man different people on the poster)

My second topic is about this pic I found of this dude eating out of a garbage dump, which for some reason seems to be steaming. This just seems interesting because it seems to me that this guy doesnt really look like a poor man but hey what do i know. Like I think that mostly I believe that this would be a good way to compare like a poor vs rich peoples eating habits and diets. And yeah thats kinda it. Btw this is the pic http://photos.merinews.com/upload/imageGallery/bigImage/1239639617742.jpg

Hello ladies and gentleman. And welcome to FoodyFood by Josh. This will be my first post in a blog dedicated to something I like to call the "Global FoodyFood Lives". But to really understand that we need to know what a singular FoodyFood life is, therefore in this first post I am going to delve into one of my favorite meals and try to explain how the food in that meal can be used to describe some things about me. So I would say that my favorite meal of all time would probably be some smoked pork ribs with a baked potato and a coke. I am not sure why exactly I like that particular meal. I mean I think I like the general taste of ribs but what I really like is the way that I can eat them, I love being able to just rip a rib of the rack and tear into the meat. And the baked potato just really compliments the taste of the ribs, to be honest I have liked potatoes since I was a child. The first time I ever had this exact meal was when I went on a cruise with my family about three years ago. Honestly I am not sure what it reveals about my personality or my experiences. Perhaps it shows that because I love the taste of ribs on the grill that I am a fairly family oriented guy because I usually am only able to eat those at family BBQs. FoodyFood is supposed to be a way that we can find ways that our choices in food can be used to describe and represent certain parts of ourselves. So if you have anything you want to share go ahead and post it up, this blog is all about being able to write whatever you want( as long as its about food). Anyways talk to you guys next time.
