To keep this course ‘hands on’ you are required, to bring in a food item, picture or drawing for discussion. This should be something of distinct ethnic origin from a particular world region outside of the United States. Depending on the chosen item, you could bring enough for everyone to have a small sample. You need to explain this item to the class: where it comes from (region, environment, relative location), what it is, how it is used, how it is made (if it is a processed food), and so on.
