MY OWN CULTURAL FOODS
With what culture do you identify? What special foods are from your culture? What are the foods you enjoy eating as a family? Are there
any special meanings or traditions associated with these foods?
Post-Reading Discussion Questions
• Compare and contrast all four categories of cultural foods.
• What are the similarities and differences?
• What is your favorite ethnic food? What do you like most about the cuisine?
• Have you tried any of the other cultural foods listed in the chapters you’ve read?
• What other cultural foods have you tried before? What did you like or dislike about them.
EXTENSION ACTIVITY
Choose a culture or ethnic group that you would like to learn more about. Research what foods they eat on a day-to-day basis and also the
foods they prepare when they celebrate special occasions. Write (or type) a ½-page statement and be prepared to share it with your class.
