"Do Nations Express Themselves in their Foods?"

The main idea:

              That a nation's food or cuisine reflects the nation's people-- their lifestyle, their culture, and their history-- and the nation itself.

Supporting Points:

• Firstly, comparing North Americans and some Europeans to Arabs (in terms of everyday eating), we can say that Americans love fast food because it doesn't take much time to eat while Arabs eat more at a leisurely pace.
• Secondly, in preparing food, Americans like it fast and easy while Middle Easterners and some parts of Spain like to cook it slow.
• From the article, it seems that the Moroccan tradition of eating with their hands from common dishes is still very much alive. As a tribute to their forefathers and their past.
• Another, is the mixture of  Mexican personality-- a mix of Arab, Spaniard and native American.
• And what we eat may be correlated with how we feel with our lives-- just like what the Bulgarians and Cubans showed. (This is from the article)
• In Malaysia, where it can be seen that the mixture of British, Arab, Chinese, Thai, and other influences has lead to the evolution of Malaysians. They have become adaptable to many things. It helped shaped them as people and as a nation..
