About food related video and my book 2




Hi : )

Let me introduce this video.

This video tells about "What does the world eat for breakfast?".
The breakfast around the world is introduced.

We can understand the deferences of food culture even if we look only at the breakfast.

Why are these deferences born?

This answer is written on the book which I introduced before on this blog.

The book says "Culture has a pervasive influence on human diet; it affects what we eat, when we eat, how we prepare our food, and with whom we share it."
And then, the book  refers to the term "culture".

"culture" used to describe the meanings, knowledge, values, and norms shared by a specific group of people.
But now, it refers to the set of norms, beliefs, values, and other conventional understandings shared by members of a specific identifiable social group, such as an ethnic group, class, professional organization, corporation, or discipline.

When we travel to other countries, we can notice that foods considered a delicacy in one society may provoke pleasure or disgust in another.
Accepting the food of the country leads to understanding of the culture.

I think food and culture have deep bonds.
We should respect each culture.


After watching this video, the breakfast that I was interested in was Mexican breakfast.
I saw it for the first time!!
I will try to eat it next time.

I think it is important to challenge food that you haven't eaten before without hesitation.
If you challenge it, you can obtain new field of vision.

  1. It is interesting that other people in other countries eat such different food for breakfast. I thought it was funny how they showed Japanese breakfast because it was just rice, miso soup without vegetables or anything and pickles!

  3. I thought this video was a little stereotypical when i saw that Japan eats rice, miso soup and just pickles as the majority of Japanese today eat more bread than rice in the morning.
    But, it was very interesting to see the variety in different cultures!

  4. I can learn the world's eating habit. This video is colorful and cute. But I also think it is a lillte stereotypical. I often eat bread and egg for breakfast.
