Today’s lecture by Dr. Yamashita was enriching, interesting and engaging. Food is a great deal for all cultures, it’s an important element of cultural identity and including it in this sessions was a great idea. I always eat Japanese food and it never had crossed my mind where it all originated. What interested me the most was the fact that in modern Japan there were the four types of cuisines having the warriors leading the list. Dr. Yamashita’s presentation will help me create a lecture on primitive foods in specific countries in Latin America before colonization and after. It would be very interesting for the students to see how our ancestors fed themselves and what were their cooking procedures and original ingredients.
