Pigeon is pretty tasty actually. They taste like chicken but are much smaller and cute. And no, they aren't the same as the wild ones that hang out under your car in the cities.
Chinese people [and I guess all other cultures] use the whole animal somehow in cooking.
Lots of Chinese recipes date back pretty far into different dynasties with some minor changes.
MSG isn't found in mainland Chinese cooking.
Fish is more popular in China than pork or beef.
Different regions in China have a certain style of cooking (Ex: Cantonese style dim sum, Sichuan style Kung Pao Chicken).
For our presentation:
I guess we could talk about different regions and their cuisines as a good way to ease us into our presentation. There's a lot we can work with such as history and pictures of food. And maybe even bring some food in. Like from cheesecake factory and get some cheesecake for ourselves.
So me and Clara were talking about Chinese desserts and it lead us to look at when the Mid-Autumn Festival would fall this year. Turns out it's 2 days after we present. You know what that means!? We need to bring in moon cakes for everyone! Perfect.
During the weekend, our group got together on Sunday afternoon to figure out which food topic we would present. We decided to split it up by geography, food manners, Western Chinese food vs authentic, and festival foods. Clara invited her friend Jeff Tsai, a Taiwanese student, to talk about Asian culture dealing with food. Clara and myself went into Wocester to purchase moon cakes and David plans to buy everyone dumpling. We joined together later Sunday night to show off our research/powerpoints and discussed what we learned.
