Family and Food
One thing that brings everyone together, no matter who you are, is food. There are many different cultures in the world and they all have different meanings for food. Some cultures praise food and have rituals for food. In some cultures they give food to the gods in many other cultures they pray before meals in thanks to the Lord.
In America all we have to do is pick up the phone and call a restaurant to have food delivered to our house. In other cultures the people have to work hard to get food. We do not realize how lucky we are to have food so easily accessible. Everyone needs food for survival and different cultures have different foods.
Cultures all have their own type of food. Italy is known for its pizza, China is known for rice, and the Polish are known for perogies. Not only do many different cultures have their own types of food they are known for they also share their food ideas with other cultures. If the Chinese did not bring their food to America we wouldn't be able to have Chinese for dinner and experience that little piece of their culture. It brings not only different cultures together but it brings families and friends all over the world together.
Food brings family and friends together when people meet up to catch up, to be together, on a date or for family gatherings there is almost always food involved. My family loves food and my family is very big. I am the tenth of twenty grandchildren and we all love food and when we have big family gatherings everyone brings some type of food from appetizers, salad, the main corse, and dessert. We all get a little taste of someone else's cooking. On sundays we have what we call Sunday Supper; every Sunday we have a different type of food at the table. Some Sundays we do Mexican, or Chinese or the American Hotdogs. People over look how important food is, people should appreciate what they eat more often and think of what other cultures would do to eat what they are eating.
