Cross-Cultural Food Patterns
Exam Review
Course Introduction
Cross-Cultural Food Patterns examines the diverse ways in which culture, history, geography, religion, and social practices influence what people eat around the world. This course explores the origins and evolution of food habits, traditional cuisines, meal structures, and the symbolism of food in various societies. Students analyze how migration, globalization, and cultural exchanges have shaped contemporary food practices and how dietary choices reflect broader cultural identities and values. Through lectures, discussions, and case studies, participants gain a deeper understanding of the connections between food, culture, and society, enabling them to appreciate and critically assess the complex interplay between cuisine and cultural traditions.
