Comparative Culture, Tuesday, Period One
Bond was actually in the classroom this morning, and he wasn't dressed like a pirate, so it would appear that things were back to normal today. There were also two long tables laid out with various dishes.
"Good morning class," Bond greeted them. "Now I've spoken briefly before about fusion cuisine. However, beyond food which is explicitly labelled as such, variations in available produce and cookware, amongst other factors in immigrant and diaspora populations, can result in food that is commonly believed to come from an immigrant culture as having distinct differences from dishes actually cooked in that culture's homeland, sometimes to the point these dishes were actually created in the country that perceives them as 'foreign'."
He gestured towards the tables. "Bearing that in mind, the left table contains dishes that one might find at the average American Chinese restaurant, while the other contains samples of Cantonese and Szechwan cooking, which are only two regional Chinese cuisines. I would like you to try a range of dishes from both tables and make note of differences between both between the American and Chinese dishes, and between the two styles of Chinese dish."
