Evolution of Different Cuisines
We’re going to look at a current food trend happening at restaurants called global flavors. This trend marries the signature flavors and ingredients of different national cuisines to create an entirely different world of tastes. For example, in Chicago, one of its iconic foods, the all-beef hot dog, is topped with kimchi salsa and egg noodles. Other examples of these “mash ups” are Moroccan spices on pizza and Korean BBQ in a taco shell. What do you think of these combinations? Do you see distinct national cuisine giving way to an international cuisine?February 21st @ 13:20 – Mark H
“Old School” vs. “Digital Age”
Music went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to digital downloads. Movies went from VHS tapes to DVDs to streaming video. Taking pictures went from using 35 mm film to instamatic film to memory cards. We are going to discuss the shift from an analog world to a digital world. No one can argue that the quality of digital is amazing, but some say that the unique sound of a vinyl record cannot truly be captured digitally. What do you think? Do you miss the analog products of yesterday? Are there any analog products that you still use today?February 24th @ 20:00 – Katie
Changing Holiday Customs
We are going to look at how the customs associated with certain holidays have changed over the years. For example, Halloween costumes originated from the Celts to disguise themselves as spirits and demons so the real ones couldn’t hurt them. Nowadays, children are dressed in costumes so they can go out and get candy from their neighbors. We’re going to look at how holiday celebrations and customs have changed over time. Can you think of any Japanese holidays that are celebrated differently now than in the past? Which type of celebration do you prefer?
