You can explore the countries of the world and get a taste of their culture without having to move a muscle.

I love this website!!! Your videos were so funny but also showed great dishes. I loved how you had your website organized to the three regions of where your foods came from. The information was very informative. It really related to the things we have been talking about in class like how people create their dishes with the resources they have around them. There were great examples of folk dishes. Great job guys!!

Great job incorporating the "guest cook"! Nice selection of music too.

Tune into NEXT TOP CHEF with Lauren Labell and Sadhana Marikunte! See the finalists in action. Lauren will be making a traditional dish from Spain and Sadhana will be making a traditional dish from Qatar. Who will win?

I enjoyed your website very much! I like how you incorporated background information into your video as well as your website. It was great to see how well these folk foods relate to what we learn in class. For example, Lauren's food dish has no known origin. This is one of the characteristics of folk culture. Great job over all!

I loved the concept of "The Next Top Chef"! The organization of the website is great and I liked how you provided background information. It was also interesting to see the characteristics of culture embedded in the food. Overall, great job!

Come and visit us at OPA cooking! With Owen Courtney, Peyton Jackson, and Adam Laudenslager, learn how to make fruit-a-licious pineapple nog, delightful alfajores (a type of cookie), and savory beef brochettes. These delicious recipes will blow you out of your mind. Watch our videos and enjoy our page! I recommend the pineapple nog video.

This website is very well done! I love your videos and how they are very funny but also informative. The information in the website can relate to what we learned in class. For example, Peyton's dish spread by relocation diffusion which is a characteristic of folk culture. Over all, I really enjoyed you website! Great job guys!

This website is great! The videos are hilarious yet still factual. I enjoyed learning about all of the different foods around the world and applying what we learned in class, such as the different types of the diffusion, to the recipes in the videos. Awesome job!

When viewing our website about a variety of unique folk clothing items, you will be pulled into our "journey"around the world as we travel to Africa, the Arctic, the Middle East, and South America in search of folk fashion.

I liked how well organized and informative your website is. In addition to the hijab, I know that women in the Middle East also wear burkas (which were in the top picture) as well as chadors.

I enjoyed this website a lot! I thought it was very interesting to see how different the dress is in places all over the world, as well as the impact that the environment has on style of clothing. Your website is organized and overall very well done! Great job!

If you want to view images of food, then look on this website. You can learn about folk and popular food and view pictures. This website provides images for Shepherd's Pie and vegetables, like corn.

I like how you showed the diffusion of shepherds pie and which country it had originated in. Your site was very informative, and well done.

I liked the way you showed the origin of shepherds pie. Its interesting to know where a food many people eat today came from.

Music has become a part of everyday culture for people throughout the world, so where did it come from? Find out through maps, as well as pictures, and hear some of the unique music that can be found throughout the world!

This site is fantastic and very informative! It's great at showing how different genres can develop in different places at the same time and how popular culture can spread all over the world.

Your site is really well organized. I like all the information about the different genres. My favorite thing was the maps that showed how music moved through time.

Have you ever wanted to watch two very amateur chefs almost kill themselves when they attempt to make foreign food? Guaranteed to make you laugh at their stupidity, LiAnn and Kara demonstrate their awful and slightly-less-awful cooking skills through the completion of this beautiful meal. Featuring: Some weird Lithuanian pork stuff that was actually pretty good; Greasy Chips a.k.a. Tanzanian French Fries; Chai tea with way too much cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; and, an Orange and Mango drink in the fancy "I'm a Grownup, I Swear!" wine glasses.

I loved the video you made! It was... the most unique one I've seen thus far. It was informative, and your commentary was quite comical (my personal favorite being the bay leaf). The diffusion of "greasy chips" was well displayed, and how they have become popular throughout many countries, including Tanzania.

I thought it was very informative as well as funny. I liked that the greasy chips were basically french fries with another name. It shows how foods can have more than one origin.

Explore new culture through everyone's favorite thing in the whole wide world; food! Delicious recipes can be found here and a video clip showing how these foods are made. Join Ellie Cahill and Sibgha Amin as they venture through the history of foods form other cultures around the world!

I liked how you showed the history of the food you displayed, such as the Austrailian biscuits and how they originated in World War 1. It was well organized and your ideas were well thought out. Good job!

I liked that you wrote on the whiteboard it was very creative. It was interesting to see that the German dish has not diffused further that it did.

Go to this website to see how, when, and where social media has diffused through the years and where it is prevented from spreading. This is mainly about Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

Nice job on showing the diffusion of social media, using three strong examples.

Great job on the website. It was something different as most people did cooking, music, or sports. I remember in the book that it said that YouTube hadn't diffused much in 2011. It's amazing what a difference three years can make.

How have some our favorite music genres evolved and what folk cultures did they originate from?

I like how your website views on the preferences of multiple people and then gives a brief history on how that music diffused into pop culture.

I liked how your website was very organized and easy to navigate. I also liked how you talked about how the music genres diffused from folk culture to popular culture.

When you visit our site you can learn more about the diffusion of a popular sport (soccer) compared to a lesser known sport called croquet. Interact by watching videos and reading more about how sports differ across the world.

This is an interesting website! I never knew about croquet before, but now I feel well informed. I like the use of images as well.

I thought it was really interesting that croquet originated as popular culture, whereas soccer originated as folk culture. Today, in our society, soccer is considered more popular culture, whereas croquet is thought of being more of folk culture. I like how you included that soccer was banned and then legalized again because I remember reading about that in class.

Americans spend around 5 hours per day watching television. What makes TV so special? How does it affect our culture as well as the culture of countries around the world? How does an American TV show become popular in Germany? Visit our website to find out!

I had no idea that there were so many international variations for just one show! Another example would be America's Got Talent has variations in 58 different countries. The videos also show how much other countries are willing to spend on their T.V. programs.

I really like how this website shows all the variations of the similar shows! It was interesting to see all the differences and how so many American shows are shown in other countries. Great job!

Visit this site to find out more about the origins and history of cheesesteak and spaghetti and meatballs. See how much you really know about both of these dishes!

This website is great. The history on the Philly Cheesesteak and spaghetti and meatballs is very interesting. It's quite awkward to some people that monkey brains are a common dish in some countries.

It was interesting to learn the histories or such common food in the U.S. The overall presentation is great and I like the incorporation of your personal views!

Wanna learn about empanadas and sambar? I knew it. Visit our site to learn about two different dishes from to very different cultures!

Great easy to navigate website design. Also the recipe's were very specific and really gave instructions to make these foods at home.

I learned a lot from your informational website about empanadas. It is a very nice layout and overall entertaining. Great job!

Do you enjoy tasty food created in Spain? Is learning about folk food one of your hobbies? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, "Cooking with Style" is for you. On this website you can learn the history and recipe for the delicious empanada.

Awesome job with the video, very informative and entertaining. Overall good content and interesting view on the food taboos. Great quote at 1:34 "Like my mom always told me, if you cut your finger off, it's gonna bleed"

I enjoyed watching your video which was well done and looked delicious! I also found the liver and onion dish as a taboo to be interesting because of how it is accepted in some regions and not others. It seems it is more widely accepted in areas that are influenced by folk culture rather than popular culture, which is funny because many things are eaten in a popular cultural society that are worse for you and contain more chemicals than the natural liver of a cow.

Visit this site if you want to learn about the most popular sport in the world, soccer. You'll learn about how soccer diffused across the globe, from the U.K., and how it influenced Rugby, a very unique sport. Soccer is a great tradition for many countries, and it brings countries together every 4 years for a world cup. But, how did this begin?

This website does a good job at going in detail about soccer. I never knew that soccer was that old and how it can actually be traced back to it's original origin.

It may be the most popular sport on Earth, but not very much is widely known on it's origins. Thanks for further insight!

Pleas take a moment to ask yourself the following questions: Have you ever wondered what TV shows there are in other countries? Have you ever wondered if these shows are similar to ours? Did they copy us or did we copy them? If you have already pondered this topic or answered "yes" to any of the above questions then you will absolutely LOVE this site! It examines the similarities and differences between US shows and Asian shows! Watch popular Asian TV shows right now, they're only a click away!

The website was very nice and informative. I never knew that China has similar shows to us! That relates to what we learned in the Ted Talk about China cloning social media like Twitter and YouTube.

The website had a nice layout and the pictures and videos added much to it. I did not know our TV shows influenced countries like Japan to copy them. Great job talking about the rapid diffusion of new electronic technology like Netflix and connecting it to class!

Go to this website to learn how to cook Italian and Indian food! This site described how to make food from cannolis to chicken curry. Learn the history behind these amazing foods and have fun making them yourself!

It looks so good! It's interesting how they tie into your PING PED project. I'm still bitter about not being able to try it...

Great job with the cooking video! I also found the background of cannolis interesting. The fact that they are popular around Carnavale season in Italy, is a good example of how they connect with folk culture and traditions.
