    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!!

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.

    Your site is very organized. I never knew croquet started as popular culture and soccer started as folk culture. We learned about diffusion in class and it is cool to see a real-life example of it.
  • mholbert on 13 Nov 14
     
    Good job making your site. The pictures you added look very nice and the site was very informational. I thought it was interesting that croquet started as a popular sport and was widespread throughout the world.
  • samin1 on 13 Nov 14
     
    I really like the layout of the website! A lot of other groups did videos but this website is able to incorporate all elements of what would be in a video on to the website. I have one question; does croquet have any relationship with golf? When I was reading that section it looked a lot like golf so I was concerned. The website looks terrific overall!!
  • jlandis3 on 13 Nov 14
     
    You guys did a great job on your website! The organization of the pictures and information was great! One connection that I noticed in your work that we learned in class activities, when we take notes from the book, was that the book mentioned that soccer was banned for a time and later unbanned, as well as it also being called football in other parts of the world.
  • kharlacher on 14 Nov 14
     
    Your website has a nice layout so it's easy to navigate. It's also fascinating that croquet started off as a popular sport and has moved to be more of a folk activity. On the other hand, soccer started as a folk activity and became a popular one.

    I would have never guessed the croquet started as a part of popular culture. I loved how you incorporated the croquet game from Alice in the Wonderland. This connects to what we learned in class because we read about the diffusion of soccer in the book. I loved your website!

    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.
  • llabell on 14 Nov 14
     
    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.

    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 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.

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?

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!
