Hello!

In conclusion, this book shows us that the relation of food to some of the key issues in sociological theory. The discipline of sociology is like a cake: it can be cut up in many different ways. Food and eating havev not until very recently generally merited a " sociology of " to themselves. Even now, the sociology of food and eating is hardly a very unified sub- discipline-if, indeed, it ought to become one.

Restaurant　Evaluation

 

I went to a Chinese restaurant during the winter vacation. This restaurant was near the station, so it was easy for people who do not have cars to go. On the whole, I thought this restaurant was good soon after I arrives at the restaurant. The restaurant was clean including floor or dishes. And this restaurant was well lighted.

After I was seated, the server did not bring water to me soon, so it was bad. But after about 5 minutes, the first dish was served. After that dished were served every 10 minutes. During the meals, I thought that a few Chinese servers were in a strict tone, so they were bad. But other server worked well when I asked something. When I went to the rest room, I realized it was clean, too. But on the bad point, there was only one toilet paper that I could find. So if I finished using the rest of them, the next person would be in trouble. After I came back to the table, a server gave us many new dishes, so I could use new individual plates.

What I ate was sweet-and –sour pork, hukahire soup, abalones, steamed meat dumplings, shouronnpou, fried rice, and peking duck. All meals were very delicious and hot. What I was most impressed was that a cook cut peking ducks in front of me. I thought that performance was very good. On the other hand, what I was the least impressed was that uncooked peking ducks were showed through the kitchen glass in front of elevators. So they were a little grotesque.

Before I get on the elevator to go home, the servers made a bow and said thank you in loud voice.

On the whole, I could eat dinner comfortably. What this restaurant should correct is that some servers should smile more and be more polite to customers.

Turnip Today, I will talk about turnips. Do you like turnips? It is said that turnips'original country is Afghanistan. They were introduced into Japan in the 7th century from China. And in Europe, they are one of the oldest vegetables to be cultivated. Moreover, they are traditionally used in Celtic festivals as lanterns, like pumpkins for Halloweeen.In many countries, they are eaten. For example, In Russia, when Russian people cook borscht, they add turnips. Of course in Japan, Japanese people cook pickled turnips. Or when they cook miso soup, they sometimes add turnips. In Japan, the most cultivating prefecture is Chiba, and next is Saitama, and the third is Aomori. In Japan, there is the festival called thet festival of seven herbs. One of the herbs is turnips called suzuna.

Hello, everyone! Today, I'll show you the part of my book that I am interested in .The part is about food and social inequality. Apart from the general food supply, which can be disturbed by crop-failure or other natural or human disasters like wars, the problem of the distribution of food is at least as important. Plenty and want throught history have never been distributed equally within the population. As we know there are people who have too much food and people who cannot eat anything and die. To solve this problem, I think people who can eat anything every day like us or people especially in developed countries should not import too much food from developing countries and wadste of food. And people who cannot eat enough food can become to eat more.What do you think about it? See you again!

Hello 


I'll introduce my food-related book to you. I have chosen " the Sociology of Foodーeating, diet and culture". This is about the development of culinary cultures, ethnologiacal food research, nutritional trends,eating disorders, paterns of food consumotion, food technology and its impact, the impact on food of colonialism and migration, domestic cookery, home economicd sconomics, or girls' education. And ther are many other topics in this book. This book is very interesting. The reason why I chose it is that I was interested in many food problems around the world.

I've not read all chapters yet, but it is an interesting book, so I'm looking forward to reading all.

See you!
