We are what we eat

RESUMEN: Soy una apasionada tanto de las relaciones con la gente como de la comida y me encanta la mezcla que esto forma. Una mesa repleta de comida y bebida y llena de gente es una de las mejores estampas que podemos apreciar en la sociedad, y nos hemos dado cuenta. Es por esto básicamente por lo que existe el turismo Enogastronómico, y muchas personas disfrutan de él. Pienso que nuestra comunidad tiene muy buenos recursos en este campo y que no se encuentran lo bastante desarrollados para atraer al máximo número de personas posibles. Tenemos que centrar parte de nuestros recursos y planes turísticos en desarrollar este tipo de turismo en Cantabria, que la gente sepa que puedes disfrutar de nuestros vinos más ricos y nuestra comida de la tierra en conjunto y acompañado de tus seres queridos, o de cualquier persona. Es decir, existe un producto turístico sin explotar que puede llamar a mucha gente, a sectores turísticos nuevos y no nos damos cuenta. Esto se relaciona bastante con el nuevo movimiento que está llamando la atención cada vez más, el “Slow Food”. Este nace en Italia y con él se trata de salvaguardar las tradiciones gastronómicas regionales, con sus productos y métodos de cultivo. El símbolo de este movimiento es un caracol, el cual simboliza que este tipo de comida se hace con paciencia y lentamente, convirtiéndose en un producto de proximidad. Con este trabajo quiero hacer una demostración de un maridaje y menú degustación con productos de nuestra tierra, en el que se puede comprobar ese efecto que hace en las personas y más cuando se conoce un sitio nuevo. Resulta difícil muchas veces encontrar un lugar en el que podamos disfrutar de una comida típica de la zona artesanal, existen muchos que se intentan imitar, pero habría que darles una oportunidad a los productos locales y aquellas personas que tratan de sacarlos adelante.ABSTRACT: I am both passionate for social relations and a "foodie". I love its mixture. A well laid table with food, beverage and people at it is one of the best social acts possible. Thus, food-and-wine tourism is widely enjoyed nowadays. I believe our community boasts good resources in this field but not well developed yet to obtain a good number of tourists. In my opinion we should focus part of our touristic plans into this type of tourism in Cantabria and let people know Cantabria is a good land to enjoy our tasty food and superb wines. This essay is a demo of a pairing of our wines and a taste menu with our own products and its effects on people willing to get acquainted with a new place. It not always easy to find good places for local typical food (most of the times we come across imitators) and my essay is but a chance to appreciate our quality local products ans the people behind them.Grado en Turism

We Are What We Eat: A Sherpa Cookbook

Everybody eats. This is a basic fact of life: that all people, given that they have the means, consume some type of food on a daily basis. Although this is a common factor which on some level may unify us all as one people, the food produced and consumed by any given individual, or culture as a whole, divides us by who we are and where we come from. Food consumption is more than just an act of survival and within our eating habits lays greater meaning than purely sustenance. Eating is a form of expression shaped by history and limited by present circumstance. What we eat, how we eat and when we eat, can tell an intricate story about the type of life we lead. I originally set out on this project because of my love for food and interest to study something new. In the several leading Nepali cookbooks, Sherpa cuisine, although the Sherpa people are a popular ethnic group in Nepal, receives zero representation. for some, this may be an understandable oversight, given the limited variety of Sherpa food in comparison to the diversity which it produced from Thakali and Newari kitchens. But for others it is an invitation to delve into a greater meaning which lies behind this simple food. For this project, I spent three weeks doing field work in Solukhumbu. I lived primarily in the villages of Junbesi and Sallerie so that I would have access to the Saturday market in Sallerie. I conducted one on one and group interviews with Sherpas of different ages, sexes, and occupations, and spent as much time in as many kitchens as possible. What I found was that some of the most interesting pieces of information I received where given by informants when iI just happened to be around rather than when i was asking direct questions. Once community members learned of my interests they were eager to point out tidbits of information whenever they came to mind. As I began conduction my research, I realized the niche that exists for this type of work. Each year thousands of tourists and trekkers flock to Solukhumbu with only a vague conception of the people who live there. The vast majority of foreigners who i encountered in Solukhumbu came to the region with Shangri-la notions about the Sherpa people and Solukhumbu as a whole, but with little actual knowledge. This void did not necessarily represent a lack of interest, many people were inquisitive an eager to sample the local cuisine one the topic was breached. But previously they were under the impression that dal bhaat was the main staple of the Sherpa cuisine, when in fact dal is only a recent introduction. It is my hope that this may be a guide for anyone interest, and it is for those who have a genuine interest in the people of the mountains and not just the mountains that I am completing this project. The structure of the project reflects this notion in that each chapter is organized around what the food can tell you about the people. It is my hope that it may be a delicious learning experience for all involved

Kirjoituksessa esitellään kolme brittiläistä tutkimusesimerkkiä, joiden avulla havainnollistetaan ruokatottumusten ja -uskomusten sosiologista tarkastelutapaa.

Are We What We Eat? Food Metaphors in the Conceptualization of Ethnic Groups

Speakers of English often understand ethnic and racial differences in terms of food imagery. It is quite common in this language to encounter metaphors presenting different groups of people in terms of beans, rice, bread, cheese, apples or chocolate. Given the cognitive and social force of metaphor in our understanding of the world and of ourselves as well as the important role language plays as a channel through which ideas and beliefs are transmitted and perpetuated, such food images may offer a window on the (de)construction of ethnic identi-ties and, ultimately, hide racist views against others who are different because of their skin color, physical features, languages and, obviously, diets
