Cross-Cultural Blog

I find this very interesting. For a research project, I have been looking at the presence of various ethnic cuisine and its availability. In the United States, it seems that restaurants and shops offer Japanese, Italian, French, Indian, Vietnamese, and all sorts of foods from foreign culture. We take it for granted-prices are usually comparable to local foods, and it is readily available.

What is a typical price for a meal in Cairo? Do you find food in Egypt to be particularly affordable, or do the prices seem as though many can not afford to eat well? It's a good thing that many people choose to eat the balady bread over the French bread, since it means that their culture is still preserved and appreciated.

The United States is often considered a melting pot of race, culture and ethnicity. I've always looked at a country's specific set of ethnic cuisines as a hazy reflection of the immigrants populations present there. Here as Meghan mentioned, we take our multiplicity of cuisines for granted but in other countries, the same diversity isn't present. Whenever I visit family in England I make it a priority to visit my favorite Indian restaurant and when I was in Southern California this spring I made a point to visit a local taqueria. Although ethnic cuisines are undoubtedly altered as they travel away from their places of origin, I think they provide a unique view into other societies. It's a shame that ethnic foods are so inaccessible in urban Egypt but perhaps this trend is soon to change.

This blog presents an interesting argument about the nature of humanity. Rather than experiencing life with an open mind by taking risks and trying new things, people rely on PDA's and planners to schedule every moment of the day. Through schedules and routines, we create a false sense of control and security. By sticking to certain routines or eating specific foods, people remain in the comfort of their individual routines. The idea that there is such a variety of food choices in Cairo that people simply fail to utilize supports this argument. We continue to live within our comfort zone. Imagine the ways life could be enriched purely by trying something new. Whether it be stepping into that mysterious Moroccan cafe or taking the scenic route home from work, deviating from a daily routine can make the world of a difference.

I find it interesting that there are such disparities in the types of food, in addition to the quality of food, that people eat based on their incomes. Trying food from new cultures is one way that people can truly experience an aspect of that culture, and it is a shame that this opportunity is not made available to everyone. Having grown up in London, I was originally surprised by the huge variety of food offered on just one high street. Even now, it is hard for me to explain what typical British food is, as my favorite restaurant was Indian, and on the same block there was Italian, Thai and Japanese cuisine. To not even know that these different cuisines would be such a shame because, as Alex previously said, life can be so much more enriched by trying something new.

This blog post reminds me a lot about my visits to Mexico. My family lives in a small town, and all the food we eat comes from the local markets. However, if we drive about 45 minutes to the city, the variety of food available there is clearly evident: Chinese, Japanese, American, and Indian restaurants crowd the streets. Unfortunately, the increased prices don't allow everyone to eat there. Those who cannot afford international foods can only eat what is available to them at the markets. Hopefully international food prices go down; it would be nice for everyone to experience different varieties of food because it would expand one's cultural perspective.

Must agree with some of the prior comments. We are from Australia and we have heaps of Chinese, Japanese, Italian, French etc eating houses, but are hard pressed to find Egyptian. am you comment on that?
