    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.
  • samin1 on 13 Nov 14
     
    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!!

    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?

    You guys did a great job! The images were really good and there was great information! One connection that I noticed on your website that was learned in our class activities, when we take notes from the book, was the reference to "Kicking the Dane's head," regarding early soccer.

  • loganknepper on 14 Nov 14
     
    I did not know much about the origins of soccer or rugby before your website. I thought you connected to two very well and showed how they originated and diffused out excellently. Also, I think the origins of both sports are interesting and funny.
  • fruszkowski on 14 Nov 14
     
    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!

    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.

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!

    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.
