“Why Everyone Should Stop Calling Immigrant Food ‘Ethnic’” by Lavanya Ramanathan (features reporter) and “Stop Thinking And Just Eat: When ‘Food Adventuring’ Trivializes Cultures” by Ashlie Stevens (food and culture writer) are articles published in the American daily newspaper “The Washington Post” and British daily newspaper “the Guardian”, respectively.

Through application of personal experiences, experts’ views and pathos, Ramanathan argues on how the phrase “ethnic food” is labelled to foreign cuisines and the discrimination that revolves around it.

In articles titled “Why everyone should stop calling immigrant food ethnic” by Lavanya Ramanathan and “Stop thinking and just eat: when ‘food adventuring’ trivializes cultures” by Ashlie Stevens, different perspectives on the role of food adventuring in cultural appropriation are offered. In her article, Ashlie advocates food adventuring and believes it is an ideal way to facilitate cultural appropriation. On the contrary, Lavanya’s article is highly critical of cultural appropriation and she emphasises on omission of the word ‘Ethnic food’ and encourages people to appreciate food as it is. Even though Ashlie’s work is written in simple language, she fails to convey her stand clearly because of the flaws in structuring of the passage. Similarly, Lavanya’s article portrays her stand clearly but is unable to reach the readers due to the use of complex words, intricate examples and analogies.

These foods should be priced at around $1.00-$2.00 on the menu as similar to a dollar menu from Mcdonalds. This would help reduce the number of calories and fats that are in regular menu items and cause the obesity rate to increase every year. Plus, the items would be cheaper than the other unhealthy foods if you are in a budget.

I was five years old in kindergarten at the West Farm School, when I learned to makes soups, cornbread and cut up vegetables with a sharp knife. I ground the corn kernels until they were as soft as a duckling. The cornbread smelled the room with a sweet aroma. You could hear the chopping of the knives slice each vegetable carefully. The Stone soup we made smelled as a good as your mom’s home cooking.
