Culture of Food
(Complementary course - open to all students)
Does food affect culture or is culture affected by food?
The aim of the Culture of Food is to explore the various
answers to this fundamental question. The cultural
meanings of food and how they influence our lives will be
examined through the study of language, symbolism,
traditions and rituals. Through readings, research, food
excursions and “tastings”, students will explore the
diverse cuisines of Latin America, the Mediterranean, the
Orient and North America. This course will encourage
students to develop an awareness of a variety of cuisines
and cultures of the modern world. By the end of this
course students will be able to make comparisons, draw
relationships and reflect upon the meaning and the
reason behind food habits of the different cultures that
surround them. Students from all disciplines and
programs of the college can greatly benefit from this
course.
Note that Podcasting and Moodle will be used for the
presentation of material and testing and students may be
required to pay a nominal fee for the food tasting
sessions.
