What food items or categories (NOT restaurants) can you think of that truly transcend the boundaries of our social divisions?
Let’s take religion out
of the equation, as Judaism and Islam place prohibitions on pork. Hindus don’t
consume beef, and they, along with many Buddhist, are often vegetarians. There are too many religious restrictions to
note, so for this situation, we are only considering gender, age, race
and class.

ReplyDeleteI think that chinese and mexican food has brought many people together exspecially when it was introduced here in America. Food brings people together, it one thing all people have in commen, we have to eat! America has so many culture foods that it makes America very diverse. Food brings us together.
tokunbo N44 in response to candace brown 49 , I think chinese cuisine also brings people of different ages, gender and race together.
DeleteLeslie B.40
ReplyDeleteHere in America, I think ice cream is a food that crosses most of the lines of age, gender, race, etc. unless you have a dairy problem. We feed it to our babies, kids can be seen running around the yards with a cone dripping down their hand in the summer, most of us have it with cake, to celebrate special occasions. From Bob's Dairy Dipper in the small towns to DQ, to the high end shops, we Americans love our ice cream.
Jalaacya M43 in response to Leslie B40
DeleteI agree with you on the ice cream comment. Ride through any park or neighborhood you'll see children of all different shapes, colors and sizes running after the ice cream truck. It's nothing like a sweet snack to beat the heat and hang w/ friends.
Mia A. Response to Leslie B 40
DeleteIce cream is a great social! I think majorly with families and seniors.
Ken T.49
ReplyDeleteI have always participated in pot-luck style get-togethers and chili and dessert contests have always made its way into the equation. Therefore, I think that any get-together involving good desserts (ice cream parties, baking contests, etc.) would work well to get people from all social aspects.
Eric D.44 in response to Ken T.49
DeleteI agree about the pot-lucks. I work in a kitchen and every time we have a potluck it's like a blindfold buffet. Although most of the workers are latin, they all come from different cultures with different recipes for the same dishes.
Eric D.44
ReplyDeleteI for one think that Pizza is a true food that has crossed all cultural boundaries. You can pretty much go to any country, minus the island countries that are limited to food choice, and get a typical, local-to-the-area pie with a good selection of toppings. If you go to marietta square, there is a sushi pizza at Thaicoon which consists of raw tuna, aioli, and a few spices on a bread with rice.
In response to Eric D.44
DeleteI agree that pizza is the most common liked food around. Its amazing how it started as an Italian dish and is now an all time favorite around the world especially in the United States. Its also amazing how the pizza can be altered to fit any individual liking. Its very versatile which probably why its so popular. I may have to try out that spot in Marietta.
Lizzy A.44
ReplyDeleteBase on my observation, it is very obvious that majority of the people in America loves pizza, I think it truly transcend the boundaries of our social divisions. Pizza is one food that bring a get-together across the races, age, gender, class and culture in America.
I think that hot wings brings people together. You can always find a hot wing contest. In my family when we have parties, weddings, or a baby shower we always have some kind of wings. We might have mild, hot, lemon pepper, or just plain wings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with alot of you that pizza and wings are a great combo together. This combo also brings people together as well. Seems like they both can go with an occasion, time or day and any place. Its amazing how food can bring people together just like a typical barbeque cookout.
ReplyDeleteTracey E. 49
ReplyDeleteI think any type of chili or pie bring people together. I've hear of fairs all around having pie and chilli contest and tasting where you taste different kinds all around the world with different and unique recipes. But at the same time, anywhere that has free food you can almost count on having a large crowd around :-)
Sopheak P49
ReplyDeleteI think hamburgers and fries bring people together.

ReplyDeleteI think spaghetti can bring people together. It is a cheap meal to make, and even if you dont like red sauce.
Bernina W. 44
ReplyDeleteI was raised up going to social gatherings , like Pot Lucks, and that has always been a great way to bring people together, regardless of race, gender ,class.
Responce to Berina W. 44
DeleteI like you grow up going to a lot of social gatherings. Pot luck dinners were always the best. I love eating diffrent cultures food and the diffrent ways that things can be made. I think I might have to make a Pot Luck dinner so my children can have the great memories and great food.
Kristel B 43 Online in response to Bernina W. 44
DeleteI definitely grew up in the environment of pot lucks as well. They were always my favorite. No matter how little of each dish I scooped onto my plate, I always ended up with too much food. They definitely brought people together. All ages, all races, all classes. Just one big mix of everything spread out before you and people all mixed in with plates and silverware. I wholeheartedly agree, Bernina.
I agree, people hardly do Pot Lucks anymore. You must be from the North Ken ?
ReplyDeleteJessica F. 44
ReplyDeleteI would say pizza is a food item that reaches across the bounders of all people. This is due to the many options that you have toppings and sauce choices that are now available. You can make a veggie pizza, meat lovers, or chicken. Nearly everybody can find a type of pizza that they can eat with the many different food diversities.
Jessica F. 44 in response to melodime
ReplyDeleteI do have to agree that wing can be a food that brings people together. It can be prepared in many ways and at many functions. You can have them at wedding for the kids as finger food to backyard barbeques that range from extremely hot, sweet, to no sauce or seasoning. Great food for any time and still allow for the socialization across the diversity of people.
Corey M.44
ReplyDeleteI think pizza ands wing bring people together. Thats the main dish people have at any sporting event or party which is two type of functions where everyone comes together.
Im going to be the boring one and mention White rice. It seems to me that in every culture that exist in my family, plain white rice is a common side dish. It goes with diffrent meats and can be mixed with beans to make it have a little bit more flavor. It can be diversified to any gender sex and race.
ReplyDeleteChristy 40- in reponse to Nilere I agree with this it is a very common food and is used in many different cultural food
DeleteMaile F. response to Nilere
DeleteI agree with you Nilere. I grew up on a island and we would eat white rice with every meal. When I moved to the mainland, people ate white rice but not as much as on the islands. It goes with everything!!!
Sabrina Page(ONline student)
ReplyDeleteChicken Parmesian with potatoes and rice go together so well. It suits all ages. Kids, of course love chicken, the teens love potatoes, and the adults go for the seasonings used and the rice. I have seen this world wide, so culturally something within this meal has been used all over. Both males and females can enjoy this afternoon dinner. It taste declicious and who could give up pasta mixed with a southern meal.Also it's a dinner that can suit just about every occasion.
Christy A 40-I think that pizza is a food that brings everyone together, it seems to be a universal food and can be made to fit anyones personal taste.
ReplyDeleteSamantha B: I think that grilling anything, especially hamburgers and hot dogs, brings people together. My friends and family always get together to have a "cook out" and it always involves grilling!
ReplyDeleteTokunbo N44
ReplyDeletePizza to me is universal. it brings people together during big sporting events like the super bowl, NBA finals and other social event, Irrespective to age,colour and Gender.Pizza has different varieties,it makes it easy for everyboby to find their taste.
Jordan P. 43 in response to Tokunbo N. 44
DeleteThis is definitely true. Pizza is originally from a different country but is now one of the most popular foods here in the United States.
Tammy B. 44
ReplyDeleteHot Dogs and Hamburgers are an all american food. I think that anywhere you go in the country you are able to purchase either one of these. They are both such a traditional food item that it brings people of all race, gender and age together. Between cookouts, parties and holidays these always make for a good menu. You cant go wrong with these foods. I can't decide which one is my favorite, but i really love to eat a good homemade cheeseburger.
Jordan P. 43
ReplyDeleteI think chicken transcends the boundaries of our social divisions. You can get chicken pretty much everywhere you go. I think it is sort of a universal food. So far in my life I haven't met anyone who hasn't liked some sort of chicken. There are so many different ways you can prepare chicken and you can put it with almost anything. You can get chicken with almost all foreign foods as well, whether it's Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Caribbean, etc.
Maile F. 44
ReplyDeleteI have to say that every get together or gathering that I have attended is always centered around food. The main food that keeps showing up is always the desserts!!! Yummy!!! I think that any kind of cake, donut, or pie is something that every culture enjoys.
Honestly I think there is only one option to this. Pizza! Think about it, if you are having a bunch of friends over to watch the Super Bowl, everyone likes pizza (unless they are allergic to something on them). I havent met a kid that wont go crazy for some pizza. Adults love, I mean what goes better than pizza and beer.
ReplyDeleteCarmen G. 87 Online
ReplyDeleteI agree with others and think that pizza is a dish that has the tendency to bring people together. Most of the time when my family has a celebration of some sort, pizza is usually the main dish on the menu. I think its because it is usually priced pretty cheap and its a food that you don't have to bring serving ware out for. Most of the time I can grab a napkin or paper plate and eat it just like that. And kids love it too!
Carmen G. 87 Online in response to Jordan P.
ReplyDeleteI agree, chicken is also a dish that most people like. It is definitely a convenience food, and you can serve it in so many different ways. In all of my life I have only met 1 or 2 people that were not vegetarians,that have disliked chicken.
Karen S.49
ReplyDeleteI am a Floridian and we have a lot of crab boils that consist of Snow crab legs, crawfish, potatos, sausage, corn, and clams. Even, if someone is allergic they would make a seperate pot with just the corn, potatoes, and sausage. This is one of the many things we do to bring people together.
Bernadette M43 online
ReplyDeleteWell I have traveled all over the country, lived in five states, and traveled overseas and everywhere I have been, there is Pizza. I remember the family’s first meal in Turkey was Pizza. We rented a house for six months and right across the street was a restraint whose main menu item was New York Pizza. The owner was from Brooklyn and had the imprudence flown in every week, even the water. Therefore, even though I think there are other foods that transcend all borders, I have to say in my experience Pizza wins. I will say also that Pizza has a way of being able to take on the local flavor like no other food does. There are so menu variations of it that it amazes me. I grew up on NY pizza, a will say that nothing compares with the pizza I got after school from a long narrow hole in the wall place at the bus stop. I often wonder if it is still there. Next trip I will go find out.
In response to Bernadette M43,
DeleteThats pretty awesome! Doesnt surprise me though that there was a New York Pizza place in Turkey. However it does surprise me that they even went as far as flying in everything.... That pizza has to cost a fortune.

DeleteIn response to Bernadette M 43
I also agree that Pizza is one meal that is truly love in this country and others as well. People have grown a great liking to Pizza especially if its from New York
I totally agree pizza is the number one then chicken. You have pizza at all the parties, Superbowl,slumber/birthday parties its quick and easy, everyone always agree on pizza.
ReplyDeleteKristel B 43 Online
ReplyDeleteI think food is a common language that everyone loves to speak. I mean really, its just about always involved in some way, meetings, parties, family get togethers, dates, etc. Coffee, for one, I believe is a main one. People gather together to talk in a coffee shop, grab a cup for a fellow co-worker or even sit on the porch in the mornings with the family and all have a cup together. Not only coffee, but add some sweets into the mix and now were talking on an even more serious note. Who likes to turn down a sweet treat? Yes, pizza, burgers and wings are all traditional american food that breaks down any social barrier but I think coffee does too. Americans are incredibly dependent on it. I think that is proven when they are willing to spend 5 bucks on a cup from Starbucks.
Mia A 44 in reponse to Kristel B 43
DeleteIn reading these comments, I think food is a major social gathering event. And coffee and ice cream would be more of a smaller social gathering.

ReplyDeleteFood is a part of everyones culture.Whether you are vietnamese,bulgarian or norwegian,food is always a part of life.I also agree that pizza is a universal food.All across America,people eat pizza.Pizza is an italian dish,but somehow it crosses cultural barriers.
Quatis S 43 online Well fellow class mates I am from New Orleans and lived in Charleston for a while and for us a Seafood Broil always brought people together. When you gather to eat a table covered in newspaper and a variety of seafood such as shrimp, crabs, oysters and fish, being cute and antisocial won't work at the table. Seafood brings good eats and good spirits of all kinds, smile!
ReplyDeleteReply to Karen S 49.
ReplyDeleteKudo's Karen there is nothing like a crab broil. we need to make it happen here in GA maybe we can open a Fish Market, just a thought!
Quatis S 49 online Parades also bring people together or any type of celebration or holiday. Beleive it or not, but some countries in West Africa celebrate what christians call Christmas.

Katarzyna C. 33 online
ReplyDeleteI think that I would have to say that Pizza is a food or dish that brings people together and transcends the boundaries of our social divisions. Pizza is now an American staple. Everyone from little kids to grown adults likes pizza. Because of this and the fact that it’s a quick and easy meal lets all people enjoy it. In addition I think it helps that it can be delivered to you. All Americans like things done fast, so this is very convenient… you can order the pizza on your way home from work, and it will be delivered right as you pull up to the driveway! Now that’s convenient!
Katarzyna C. 33 online in response to Nilere
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of white rice, but you’re right, almost every culture uses this food in one way or another for their dishes. And the fact that it can be paired with almost anything makes it a good filler for a meal, it can almost be a substitute for potatoes… which is another food that is used commonly in a lot of cultures.
Meredith N.44
ReplyDeletePeople who live in a particular area may attend "Taste of-" festivals. Food always seems to attract people as food is needed for our physical bodies. Many social occasions revolve around food. Different kinds of parties draw people together. I think pasta is a food that can be made many ways. People seem to enjoy salads and main dishes with this ingredient. County fairs also attract a variety of people and have exhibits and amusements that others enjoy. When I attended the Renaissance Festival I noticed many ages and also both males and females. In the parking lot were many different vehicles that reflected low and high incomes.
Meredith N.44 in Response to Leslie B.40
ReplyDeleteYou are correct in saying that ice cream shops can be small town to gourmet. It is a treat that almost everyone can enjoy. My great-grandpa would eat it so fast, he chewed it. My uncle makes special trips at least 2-3 times a week to Bruster's or Dairy Queen. It's a great treat.

ReplyDeleteChocolate is a food that transcends all cultural boundries. It can be used to symbolize love and affection. It is also commonly given as a gift. Children as well as adults love it!

Vann H. 88 in response to Corey M.44

ReplyDeleteI would have to say tea. Tea brings all different cultures together. Sweet tea brings my family together. Tea is served in coffee houses all around the world. People drink tea at all hours day and night. From high tea time in Britain, to Russia, China, and Japan. Tea also is served with appetizers, scones, sweets, cakes, cookies and jams. It brings all cultures together. From unsweetened tea in the north to sweet tea in the south. A cup of hot tea can relax you, or chilled ice tea can be used as a pick me up! Tea can go with any culture food too. Sweet tea is my favorite, I was born in Alabama and raised in Georgia so I am southern all around!

DeleteTea is one of my most favorite things. I like it in all different varieties. Tea is a beverage of choice all around the world and has been for hundreds of years.

ReplyDeleteI think Jamaican food and Mexican food bring race,gender, class and age together. Because they are different foods and not many people choose that selection everyday. So they like to try something different. And those choices of food are also popular.
Michaelia B. 43 in response to Chandis Cagle
DeleteI absolutely love Jamaican and Mexican food. Although I enjoy them, these types of food would not be something that I chose to eat everyday but rather on occasion. I would say the diversity is more in the Mexican food rather than the Jamaican food just because sometimes people aren't willing to try something different.
Michaelia B. 43
ReplyDeleteI am trying to think of places that I have witnessed diversity pertaining to the types of food that was being eaten. I must say that many Chinese food restaurants that I go to often have a variety of different people as well as places that serve desserts because many people enjoy sweets. I have also witnessed different races and older people in the south frequent soul food restaurants ordering items that they ate as a child or aren't able to fix for themselves anymore.

ReplyDeleteIn response to Leslie B.40. I agree with icecream, being a food that crosses race, age, and gender. The top ten countries of consumption in the world are the 1)United States,2) New Zealand, 3)Denmark, 4)Australia, 5)Belgium/Luxemburg, 6)Sweden, 7)Canada, 8)Norway, 9)Ireland and 10)Switzerland www.makeicecream.com
Our memory sensors evoke; children laughing,(we were all children once) vacation, celebration,(rarely served at solom occassions), the cool sensation and sweet taste, and even smell,(sniff your icecream, before you inhale it next time). Made most often of milk (most of us have had milk, in some form or another), and created in a flavor to satisfy specific tastes. Even cicada (bugs). www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20070101-10391704.html The feel good of icecream makes it a food with the ability to transcend age, sex, and gender.
Christy W online43
ReplyDeleteNow lets talk about smores. Even if you don't like chocolate or marshmallows who can resist making smores. We didn't say we had to consume the food. Barbeques bring people together in the United States we generally say, "Let's Grill", but in Canada they say, "Let's have a Barbeque", and most often there is no barbeque sauce. The sweet smell of sugar burning on an open fire, just as in barbeque sauce,evokes our sensory memory. We take memory snapshots of these "good times" www.the human memory.net
In our desire to nuture, we invite our friends and family; people we love and care about to consume something we hope they will enjoy. Most people like some form of chocolate. Smores are now made in a variety of mild, dark, white, and flavored chocolates. Graham crackers was one of the first finger foods babies could be given when teething, the better part of teething as we knew it. Social status hasn't been mentioned much but most people with allow for sticky fingers, (wet wipes ready) for a smores. Get ready National Smores day is August 10th, www.smoresontherun.com Girl Scouts claim the fame of smores in 1940. I think this food ranks high in crossing all the boundaries of age, race, sex , and social status.
Kitrina B49
ReplyDeleteI definately think that here in America one of the main foods would be hot dogs and apple pie. But as cultures go I would like to add that I think hot wings and beer bring many together as you know every time a ballgame is on. I think Chinese and Japanese for those special occasions when you want to show someone how much you care about them is also a good idea. And Italian food is something everyone loves.
Shana-kay C. 20
ReplyDeleteI would say that Italian food altogether bring people from all ages and races together. Everyone loves pizza, lasagna, spaghetti and many more Italian food. We as americans love to try different types of food and we are more likely to try different Italian dishes.
Marci C. 09
ReplyDeleteIce Cream!! Who can resist ice cream. I can't think of one single memory where ice cream hasn't appealed to the masses. Everyone in America has chased the ice cream truck at some point in their life, some as children and others, as an adult. Every grocery store, convenience store, amusement park, or sporting event has ice cream. Never is it left off as a option for desert on the menu no matter what type of restaurant your in. Regardless of where you live in this country, you always know where you can pick up your favorite treat!
JimellaB43 in response to Marci C.
DeleteOmg you are soooooo right I absolutely love some ice cream. Everyone loves ice cream. I used to work at a Chinese place and even there ice cream was sold. It is a Delicious frozen treat that can put a smile on even the saddest of faces.
I think Tacos is one of them, an example of that is Taco Bell, my friend...
ReplyDeleteAnybody can agree on Taco Bell. With this I'm referencing something so close to CTC and that's just convenient...
Anyways, it's beef, cheese, and selectable condiments and vegetables either wrapped up or enclosed in your choice of usually two different tortillas (soft/hard). Though it was originally a Mexican Dish, it looks to be something that we can all agree on.
Elizabeth M. 44
ReplyDeleteI know it’s been said but I think pizza is a food that crosses the lines of age, gender, race, social status, etc. For example, a homeless man and the governor might even order pizza from the same pizza place. I know people from all different races and social classes that love pizza. Kids love it. Even a vegan, animal rights activist can enjoy a slice with soy cheese. Go into a really good pizza joint and you will see people from all walks of life inside.

ReplyDeleteItalian food definitely brings family's,friends,and kids together. It is a social food, it accommodates those who are vegetarian.Everyone loves pasta,cheese,and bread.Especially pizza, it's quick and fulfilling.There have been many time when I have get together' I order pizza its delivered, you don't half a big mess to clean up and its enough to share with everyone.

ReplyDeleteCoffee is one thing that is nationally known and drank by many cultures. I always invite friends to talk over coffee at my house, or we go and get coffee at a coffee house! Many problems have been solved over a good cup of joe! This is also where most of the problems come up to be discussed also, and it seems that something about coffee gives comfort and strength to get you through some really hard and or bad times.

DeleteI agree with you on coffee. Before I came to this country, I was of the opinion that Africans were coffee addicts. Now, I have a completely different impression seeing the the way different people from different parts of the world embrace drinking coffee. As a matter of fact, people almost forget which race they belong when they gather together to drink coffee in a coffee shop.

I have had the opportunity to visit several restaurants both here in Georgia and some other states across the country. The number one food item that appeals to every man or woman,boy or girl, old and young is salad. As a matter of fact, it is a major part of every meal. Most restaurants, whether Chinese, Italian, Mexican, African, American, Japanese, and so on has this food item on their menu list. This food item transcend the boundaries of our social division. Aside the fact that it is eaten by people from all works of life, it is also a food item that's recommended for healthy living.

My family along with friends surrounding us have always grown there own vegetables and hunted there own meat. So when I think of the food that brings us together I think of deer jearky, green beans, corn, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy. I can't tell you how many people sit aroud my table when these foods are prepared. And of course the main one...SWEET TEA!! My family can't live without some good old sweet tea!! It brings every meal together!

ReplyDeletePizza is definitely the 'food' of choice. Because pizza can come in so many flavors and arrangements and still be generically referred to as pizza, it is easy to find a 'pizza' that everyone agrees on. The next would be the burger and/or hotdog. a cookout always has burgers and dogs and everyone seems to find a buger or dog that thye like. These are easy social events to attend as one can get the pizza, burger, or dog, just the way they want without being singled out.

ReplyDeleteWell this was back in the 80's so I am sure it was more afordable. I am sorry I do not remember the cost from back then. I was wonderful, especially when you spend the day walking through the market with all the hanging chickens with flies on them! Some one said salad, I think that was a good answer too and very good for you. I also think tea or coffee as a beverage would be the top drinks.
Q Higgins 49 I think soul food also brings families and generations together, esipically in the south. Sunner dinner is a time for laughter, memories, and togetherness.
ReplyDeleteI definatelly agree with what is being said. It is not only food that brings people together, but also drinks whether it is coffee or alcohol. Some people put whiskey in tea or coffee for an extra kick in other contries. though Food is a social gathering that brings peopole together but it breaks the ice for any event.

DeleteI agree with the idea of drinks bringing people together. Even if it didn't involve alcohol. Most people like to get together for tea and have a nice talk.
I was a student out at ABAC so i really know how BBQ brings the south together. It is a southern tradition for BBQ's to be every weekend or family reunion. All together on a serious note this is ont thing that can bring black people together without killing one another

i think that sishi brings people together of all ethnicitys. When sushi was brought over to america, we were exposed to a new way of eating fish. It brought their culture to us. We use chopsticks to each suchi, as the japanese and chinese use chopsticks to eat almost all of their meals. It also brings together different age groups, some people think eating sushi shows sophistication.

ReplyDeleteI think pizza brings people of all ethnic backgrounds together. I mean who doesn't like a good pizza. You can customized them just the way you want. You can get a taste of a little of everything. It doesn't matter if your from America or China pizza is a food that any and everyone can enjoy no matter how you choose to top it!
Arveolla M. 43
ReplyDeleteI think that having a pot luck brings everyone together. The reason is that you have a lot of different cultures in your community and by doing this shows them that you are open to their culture and might enjoy and want to be around them more than just social events.
Answering this topic came fairly easy to me. The food that brings people together the most, regardless of age, gender and race, is definitely cake. Cake is eaten at almost every function that I have been to, especially a birthday party.
