Week 5 Activity 1

In my country, one of the most iconic cuisines is the hamburger. Its origin is not specific, but it was most likely created in the 19th to early 20th centuries. Hamburgers were originally classified as just meat patties between buns (which are separated pieces of bread). Over the years, the hamburger has had condiments and other ingredients such as lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, mustard,and cheese added to it. Hamburgers have been specialized and classified on the wide variety of ingredients they can contain. Today, hamburgers can come with drinks and fries depending on what you order. Personally, I have eaten and enjoyed many hamburgers from all over my home city, and it is the food that I can imagine the most. My favorite hamburger would have to be with mushrooms, grilled onions, and white cheese.

I found my information from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_hamburger

Although Wikipedia is not the most reliable source, I did most of my research based on experience.

Week 5 Activity 2

On school days, the lunch lines are crowded with hungry children frantic to get their food. Pizza, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and Chinese food like orange chicken and chow mein float into the children’s minds. My friends wait in these tedious lines to get their food while I, on the other hand, eat my school lunch. I usually eat turkey and cheese sandwiches, but on certain occasions, I eat roast, fried, or grilled chicken, pork, or beef with rice. Some of my favorite meats would have to be fried chicken or spam (which is processed canned pork). Sometimes, I even get desserts like chocolate chip cookies and cakes.

Week 5 Activity 4

For week 5 activity 4 I posted comments on Allegra, Teagan, Gauri, Mary-Ellen, and Caitlyn’s blog! They happened to all be from Australia. I learned about many different popular foods they eat and was hoping to try a dish one day. Here were the comments:

Dear Allegra,
I like what you shared about Australian food. I have never tried any of those foods except the barbecued shrimp. What is Pavlovas? What do you eat it with? I am interested to try it.
Sincerely,
Joaquin

Dear Teagan,
I enjoyed the video that you put together to share popular foods of Australia! The video was very entertaining. In the United States, we also eat a lot of steaks; however, I have never tried of many of the things you listed. First, what are Weet-Bix? Do you like them as well? I’m was drawn to the Weet-Bix because I want to try it, and it has quirky name.
Sincerely,
Joaquin
