The Taste of Tonga

Sorry, I have a book, but I didn't scan the pictures.

FACT:
In rural Tahitian societies, young women are not allowed to eat food that has been prepared for adult men. This is because they believe that male interaction with the spiritual world could have residual effects that would pass, via the food into the young vulnerable women.

One cool fact about these Quechuan people, is that they are the modern desendants of the Incas. Their shoes are made out of tires, and a specific tribe called the Q'ero live in the Andes mountains at altitudes of 13200 ft. (Provo is at 4500ft). These are the pastoral people who raise llamas and alpacas!
Some traditional food includes corn, potatoes, cuy (guinea pig), alpaca, and yes, roasted frogs.

Inuits, early 1900s.
Often, the Inuit's food came from hunting. The hunter usually kills the animal then immediately eats right after. Hunting is the main part of their food preparation, which is why I chose to portray my character hunting rather than cooking.

Also, I looked at a book in the library, but I didn't check it out and I don't remember what it was called.

I really wanted to use a chef hat on my character, so I searched the origin of the French hat.  It came about in mid 19th century France.  In fact, the chef "uniform," as we currently imagine it (all white with hat and apron) was instituted by Marie-Antoine Careme, who was a famous chef in France.  During this time, in France, the stethoscope was invented in order to aid diagnosis of respiratory and cardiac disorders.  It quickly became the symbolic icon of the medical profession at the time.

I was looking at  a lot of these pictures to try and figure out shoes.

This is Fionnghan Ramsay. Scottish cuisine has always been based on its abundance of natural game, with a focus on simplicity and an absence of spices (as these were foreign and highly expensive). Poorer medieval Scots relied mainly on the byproducts of domesticated beasts for nutrition and would use up the entire animal, leading me to believe that Fionnghan here would be highly resourceful in making use of whatever ingredients he could find to innovate new, delicious recipes... a trait that, perhaps, would carry on to his descendants.

"These women, known as palenqueras, are from a small village called Palenque de San Basilio, about 30 miles from the walled city of Cartagena. Their ancestors fled Cartagena in the 16th century to found one of the first settlements of escaped slaves in the Americas. e Palenque language is a Creole language based on Spanish lexicon, but with the morpho-syntactical characteristics of the African continent’s autochthonous languages, especially Bantu."

Amy Clegg Assignment #5

Traditional Zulu cuisine was prepared by the women of the tribe, and although beef and chicken are their most common meats used today, they would often prepare game meat from ostriches, crocodiles, warthogs and monkeys. Most pictures I found showed the women in relaxed or simple poses, and often they were heavily decorated with beads, headbands, earrings, and anklets.

Fun fact: women of the Zulu tribe dress according to marital status! Unmarried young women don't wear much... enough said. Once engaged, women wear a shawl or chain of beads to cover themselves a bit more, showing respect to their future husband and family. After marriage, women wear longer skirts and full tops. Even the color of the beads they wear have symbolic meaning! Say goodbye to the famous "it's complicated" status!
