I have narrowed myself down to focusing on the different kinds of foods that made it to America because of immigrants. I have found a few articles online discussing the significance of specific foods brought over by immigrant\u2019s groups, specifically one in particular that labeled these foods as \u201cFoodways\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/immigrationtounitedstates.org\/504-foodways.html\">http:\/\/immigrationtounitedstates.org\/504-foodways.html<\/a>). I have been using google, and the online UT library database, but I am having trouble finding articles particularly about how the immigrant food then affects U.S. culture. What phrases could help me narrow down my research to a more specific idea? My citation organization has been much more up to par than I originally anticipated with a simple word document that I continue to fill with citations as I find more texts. At the moment, I have several different texts, but I am nervous as to how much relevant content I can pull from them. For example, one article with a title that contains \u201c\u2026Knowing \u2018Good Food\u2019 Immigrant Knowledge\u2026\u201d is actually a very short news story related to farming and healthy foods and has little to do with immigrants (<a href=\"http:\/\/search.proquest.com\/docview\/1628003976?pq-origsite=summon\">http:\/\/search.proquest.com\/docview\/1628003976?pq-origsite=summon<\/a>). Overall, I think at this point I simply need to find more material that aligns specifically with historical immigrants bringing over their own foods and cultures to America. Most of my research is coming from more present day articles and books, but to really delve into my topic, I need to find some more historical texts to reference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My research has been slow but steady over the past 2 weeks.
