Comfort Food around the World



Thesis

� All around the world, food serves as the

medium through which individuals relate back

to a sense of security and comfort generally

attributed to the home; the provided sense of

protection and familiarity with ones

surroundings is a factor in reduced mental

illnesses or psychological difficulty.

Activity List

1. Discuss major ingredients used in specific cuisines around the world. Then have a

blind taste test and see if the class can identify the foods region.

2. Engage the class in a competitive game-like challenge. Class will be split into two

teams and I will quiz them based on names of specific foods I have mentioned in

the PowerPoint. The ones to win get two sugar cookies. The ones to lose get one.

3. Read a creative story about cultural food to the class. The main character will be

a secret ingredient, and the plot of the story will build up to a climax. The main

goal of our main character is to be accepted by his friends and be incorporated

into a yummy dish. Which I will prepare for the class.
