I think you guys did a good job on this video! The dishes looked great! Maybe a little too informal, but super funny! Overall, good job!

I really like the depth you went into to show the history of your foods! There was a lot of great information. Great job!

I loved your video! It was very entertaining. I really want to try to make the chai tea now. Awesome job!

I like how you gave a lot of in depth detail about the foods and the countries that they came from. I learned a lot about different foods and how to make them!

I really liked your video! You guys are so funny and it was a cute little video. I liked how Kara mentioned that the Tanzanian French fries were a lot like regular fries. That comparison shows probably how French fries have diffused into other countries. Great job!!

This is so great! The video is very entertaining as well as informative. You did a great job of putting your personalities into it. Both Tanzanian and Lithuanian cuisine are great examples of how a place's environment can greatly affect its food.

Your website looks very professional, and is full of great information. Its was very interesting to learn the history and origin of the dishes that we see everyday in the United states.

This website was a great place to learn about folk foods and taboos including monkey brains and intestines. I learned a lot about the history of cheese steak and spaghetti, and how they diffused into the popular foods they are today.

This website uses a lot of information that I didn't know. Who knew spaghetti and meatballs were not Italian? It cool to see where common foods found in the US actually come from, despite the usual assumption. Great job guys!!

Awesome website! Very neat and easy to navigate. I liked how you talked about the taboos and mentioned some things we learned in class.

The pictures on your website were great. It's interesting how cheesesteak diffused rapidly in Philadelphia, and now is a popular food choice.

Nice overall job on the project! I liked Ryan's food taboo being monkey brains, as the information on the food was surprising.

I really enjoyed watching your video!! I thought it was very creative how you sped up the writing part so the video wasn't extremely long. I also liked the background music throughout the whole video! Great job guys!!

Awesome job guys! Those dishes look so good! I really liked how you guys planned ahead in your video and took the extra step of giving us the history of the dish before you made it. I enjoyed this project a lot!

I think your video, and website, were a really unique twist on a popularly picked project choice. I really liked the white board idea, the subtle music in the background, and the way you "fast-forwarded". It was really good altogether!

Your website looks so professional, I love it! You seemed like you guys really knew what you were doing before you started filming.

Your website is really well organized and well set up, I like that you put recipes on for the different foods. It is interesting to see all of the different foods enjoyed throughout the world.

The idea to have the writing sped up was great! It allows you to give so much more information about the food. Rote Grutze not diffusing very far is a great example of the limited spread of folk culture.

I really enjoyed watching your video! You both did a great job explaining how to make the dishes! I also liked how you brought in the "judge" to make it look like a real cooking show! Great job guys!!

I like how you gave a lot of history on each of the dishes. You provided good background knowledge on the dishes for the viewers before they watch your video. Also, your idea to have a judge for the food was really cool! Good job on your video!

Great job, ladies! I really liked how organized your website was. You also gave a lot of information about your dishes, which was very good. They both looked so good! I think you guys are both winners!

The cook it at home recipe is pretty cool. Your information is very detailed and covers any questions I might have had.

I really enjoyed watching your video. The directions were very specific and the food looked really good! I especially liked the part where the judge, "Gordon Oliver", tried the dishes because it was different than a lot of the other food videos.

I really liked how your video was like a real cooking show! I liked the taste test at the end and the interviews at the beginning that showed the history of the dishes.

It's pretty cool how you guys made this seem like a real show. Good work!

Great job guys! Your video was really creative and entertaining while also being informational.

Very good idea to make it into a real cooking show! Great information and organization of the site. Good work!

Good job with your video, especially with the beginning intro scenes and the last scene! Sadhana, you should have won by default because of Lauren's brother being the judge! I wonder which one of your recipes was actually better?

Your website was very neat and easy to navigate. I like how you made it like a real show with the judge at the end. Both foods follow the characteristics of folk culture and that the origin is anonymous.

I liked how the website was well managed and and easy to navigate, plus those foods look REAAAAAAALLLY good!

I liked how the video was set up like a real cooking show. You guys also presented great information about the food's background, as I never heard of the Qatar dish.

I really liked the design of the website and that it was based on a real cooking show. I thought the dishes were interesting and displayed how the resources available to countries often affects their folk culture.

Great job! The beginning scenes were very informative, and I thought it was interesting how there are different theories on the origin of the tortilla española, which is a great characteristic of a folk culture.

Your cooking show was very interesting and I especially liked the two recipes you picked. I liked watching and learning about the two folk foods and how they are made. Why did you pick those two? Any specific reason?

The show was very nicely done and seemed very professional. The way that curry became popular in England is a great example of folk culture spreading through relocation diffusion.

I was really interested in learning about your view on this topic, but I couldn't view any of the links because of the permission settings. The pictures were great, and I loved how you organized your website!

I like how you made a map showing where the shepherds pie came from! It is so interesting to see where different foods that we enjoy in our own culture came from. You also did a good job of laying out your information.

Awesome site! I know what I'm doing this weekend. I liked how you explained the diffusion of each dish. I enjoyed the videos, and I'm really digging the t-swift. #squad

I love the name! The setup was extremely professional and easy to follow making me want to look at more. The dishes all looked great and I'm definitely loving the site of #squad.

The foods you guys cooked look really delicious! I know what Susan will be cooking me this week! I liked the incorporation of RJ, he did a very nice job not hurting himself or anyone else. You're videos were very well put together and informative! Great job guys!

So much variation of food preferences in Southern Europe. The video of the food preparation was great too, showing what is native the the regions. Well Done!

I really like how you made your site look professional but simple. I also like that there's not too much information to make me not want to read it. Great job!!

This website was a great place to learn about folk food around the world. These two dishes from Spain, empanadas, and India, sambar, were fun to learn about and look great too!

This website provided great information about two very unique dishes, which I learned about folk food from Spain and India. Nice job!

I liked this website because it displayed two dishes that I have never heard about. This makes me want to find more about and try other Spanish and Indian foods.

Wow, I really enjoyed the information on this website. We did empanadas, too. Far out.

That wonderful video was definitely wonderful and you've inspired me to make empanadas now in my own home now. And by empanadas I mean samosas.

I loved how the website was very easy to navigate, plus the food looks really good, i might have to make it myself.

The food looked really good, I may have to make it myself this weekend! Your video was very good and your website was very easy to navigate. Wonderful Job!!

I really enjoyed watching your video! I like how it was entertaining but also informative. I also enjoyed learning about how Empanadas diffused to several spanish areas. It is great that you have the recipe so that others can make empanadas on their own. Over all, great job! Your website was interesting as well as informative.

Mmm… That all looks delicious. Very informative and inspiring. I think I'll try making the Frosty Pineapple-Nog.

I laughed way too hard at parts of this... I learned a lot about the different cultures of food!

That stuff looks awesome, I know what I'm doing this weekend.

The food looks amazing. I was blown away by the recipes! I also learned about various culture's food.

The videos were very well done and funny! It makes sense that Haitians would have pineapples in a christmas drink due to its tropical climate.

The videos were really funny! The easy layout of the website made it effortless to navigate and find everything. Overall great job done!

Interesting choice of article Ally. I like how it show the production of the e cigarettes spreading all around the world, even to china, which shows globalization. Good Job!!

I think that it's very interesting how he moved to China immediately to build and produce his product. It must have had several appealing characteristics, perhaps cheap labor, resources, or less strict regulations. I wonder if the tobacco industry will try to combat e-cigs to protect their profits, maybe even by leading research on the effects of inhaling the nicotine vapors.

I Think that it was interesting that hey immediately thought to produce it in China. I have seen many start up businesses that was to get to manufacturing in China because it will cut down their production cost and it will increase their profit which is the goal of the business.

I was surprised to read that globally, cigarettes earn more than a half trillion dollars in sales annually because I thought the amount would be much less. With the rise in popularity of E-Cigerattes, the markets, as well as the inputs for cigarettes is likely to decline. In addition, I find it very interesting that the product, after improving it with access to technology and knowledge in the U.S., is produced in China. This is probably due to the cheap labor force, as well as the large amount of land available to produce the product, for production near urban and suburban areas could spark debate with health problems.
