Tacopedia was the best thing we read in this class. I enjoyed the illustrations along with the history of the taco. It showed just how unique and diverse it is throughout different parts of Mexico. With each area having a specific type of taco and taco culture. It is interesting to look at the food as the anthropology of the culture. In this case looking at Mexican culture through the lenses of a taco.
The text I enjoyed most that I picked as outside reading was the Israeli Malabi. I enjoyed the Tasty style videos that are not done by Tasty. I also enjoyed the culture aspect of it. It’s from Israel and is popular throughout the Middle East. Having a recipe that is usually not put into Wester focus available is alway a bonus. For me it was something I grew up having at friends houses but my family never made. I enjoyed learning how to make it and the videography that went behind it.
I agree! Tacopedia did a great job of describing a culture through the lens of food. The Israeli Malabi piece sounds interesting too.
