Global Gastronomy

Describe a New Year’s food tradition from a country different than your own.

Take a ‘virtual’ trip around the world and explore the diverse and rich food traditions that mark the New Year. What do these foods signify? Research on such traditional foods, describe how they might taste, and attempt to understand the symbolism behind each dish. What do these traditions say about the culture and its people? It’s a great way to gain understanding of global cultures, traditions and food symbolism.
