I decided to take Foods of the World because I have taken all of the other cooking classes and liked them, so I wanted to keep taking them. I also wanted to cook new foods from other countries. By taking this class, I will be able to cook foods that I probably would never make at home. This class will also be different from the other cooking classes I have taken during high school. It will give me the chance to explore other cultures and their foods!
One thing I am excited about is cooking foods from other countries. It will be interesting to see the popular foods in other countries compared to how Americans make their food. For example, American Chinese food is completely different from authentic Chinese food, and I’m excited to cook and eat the authentic Chinese food. However, this class is first hour, so we will be eating all these interesting dishes right in the morning. Lastly, I’m curious to see how many of these foods I actually like. Different countries have very different tastes, and I tend to be very picky.
The unit that sounds the most interesting to me is China. I eat a lot of American Chinese food, so I want to compare that with authentic Chinese food. Chinese food also seems to have lots of meat, rice, and vegetables, and I love all of those. Some Chinese food is also fried. However, I’m curious to see the other ways Chinese food is cooked.
Foods of the World 
I agree with you that it was very interesting to learn about the difference of authentic and American Chinese food. I had no idea that orange chicken was not authentic. I also really enjoyed this unit because I learned about many different recipes that I never would have before.
