From an American perspective, food from different countries and cultures are labeled heavily by grouping entire cultures into a \u201cfood category\u201d: Mexican, Chinese, Indian, etc. But, merely stating the country does not represent the true cultural value of the food or the significance of a dish to those countries.

Each dish held to itself a personal connection with the maker. For example, the croissants are a reminder of common Alabama finger food. A central theme about food culture is tradition and the family recipes passed down to generations. Brigadeiros are a Brazilian traditional food brought in by Eunice Davis, a native Brazilian. These tasty treats are chocolate truffles covered in sprinkles from S\u00e3o Paulo and are seen mostly at birthday celebrations decorating the table. The sprinkles covering the truffles were chocolate, but rainbow sprinkles can be used for kids. Mrs. Davis then describes the differences between the meals in Brazil compared to America. Breakfast consists of bread and some sweets, lunch is the main meal of the day with meat and maybe dessert, and dinner is a lighter meal with usually a sandwich. The main difference for American meals is that dinner is usually the main hearty meal whereas breakfast and lunch are lighter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"880\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:98,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/blogarchive.utc.edu\\\/center-global-education\\\/2017\\\/10\\\/30\\\/students-share-their-food-and-cultures-at-gastro-diplomacy-meeting\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:204256842}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 880px; height: 393px;\" data-original-width=\"880\" data-original-height=\"393\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 587px; height: 393px;\" data-original-width=\"587\" data-original-height=\"393\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/2017\/10\/30\/students-share-their-food-and-cultures-at-gastro-diplomacy-meeting\/food_conversations-11\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"583\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"389\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"96\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"6000,4000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 77D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1487603023&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Food_conversations-11\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11.jpg 6000w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/center-global-education\/files\/2017\/11\/Food_conversations-11-600x400.jpg 600w\" width=\"583\" height=\"389\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"583\" data-original-height=\"389\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"Food_conversations-11\" alt=\"Food for thought!

She brought flan as her cultural dish. Flan is a custard or pastry that was brought by Spain to Mexico made from eggs, cream cheese, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. It is generally made for special occasions because of the time-consuming process and enjoyed for dessert or a snack. Typical food culture for Mexico is the focus on spicy food. A typical breakfast meal includes eggs with salsa and tortilla, lunch includes soup, meat and dessert, and dinner is lighter with coffee, cinnamon tea, and cookies or bread.<\/p>\n<p>Food culture represents a shared history and a calling back to cultural roots; the essential component of how people define themselves. Through the sharing of food, one can understand different cultures from a personal level and make meaningful relationships. Keep an eye out for the next Gastro Diplomacy meeting to learn more about food culture from around the world!<\/p>\n<p id=\"_hKk7SMgnvakKDE\" dir=\"ltr\">Written on October 30, 2017<br \/>\nBy Will Patterson<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p id=\"_azDde2HfDKfWND\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UTCglobal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Like us on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"_2fknc0VwZBYe3o\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/utcglobal\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Follow us on Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"_dp9EO44T8pbyHc\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/utcglobal\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer\">Follow us on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Share this post:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the differences between cultures, food serves as a unifier to bring others together.
