如何品鑒不同文化的食物

山西 趙海峰

了解不同的食物、飲食習慣和傳統用餐時間可以幫助我們在以后的生活中理解、欣賞和接納來自不同文化背景的人。

1Learning different foods, eating habits,and mealtime traditions can help us understand, appreciate, and embrace people from different backgrounds later in life.Here are a few practical tips you can try at home to introduce diverse food traditions.

2Know the food's cultural significance.Food culture is often controlled by religion,geography, lifestyle, and family beliefs.By learning the cultural significance of certain foods in specific parts of the world,we can make our dinner experiences a lot more interesting.A great way to do this is by researching food traditions online or by talking with friends from different nations.

3Cook and eat together.We can cook at home as a way to occupy ourselves, save money, and eat healthier.And we also can plan a“travel through palates”series for ourselves, cooking foods from a different destination each week.It is more fun to experiment with new foods if the entire family is on board with the process.

4Play food careers.Television shows have made us more interested in the culinary (烹飪的) arts.Besides involving the entire family in the kitchen, we can also play creative games that mirror popular cooking shows and food professions,such as playing the role of a chef,cooking competition judge,food blogger,or restaurant critic.

5Encourage a polite bite.Understand there will be times when the dish in front of us is just not appetizing.But we should have an open mind and always accept whatever we are offered, even if it is only to take a small polite bite.Set an example by tasting it first and reacting in a gracious way.Once you enjoy a certain dish, other family members are also likely to be curious about it and not want to miss out on the shared experience.

6Fortunately, pop culture has showed food experiences in school and is educating us not only to accept,but also to be grateful for the food of other civilizations.
