I am going downtown to my favourite restaurant. It’s called Pub and Pickles and well that says it all for me. I don’t know if you have been there before but it down at the corner of 1st Street and Main on the northwest corner. You can’t miss the place as it has a big mug outside with a dill pickle sticking out of it. In case I didn’t say it yet, “my kind of place.” I am going on a Tuesday night as that night they seem to have the best specials. I am ...

On the very first day I took three meals on that ...

It’s a bright and warm Sunday morning, and as I jog along the park's walking trail, my mind is busy with thoughts of mouth-watering sizzling steak on the grill. They say that, “Exercise helps reduce food cravings,” but that doesn’t work for me. The more I exercise, the more it triggers my appetite and the sheer thought of marvelous succulent, savory steak fueled my cravings. Sundays always give me the blues as it brings back memories of my dear Grandma who cooks the best Salisbury steak that were so good- to- the- last- bite. I grew up ...

The main criteria of globalization are diffusion, interdependence, organization, and culture. Diffusion implies a geographical dissemination of a product; independence means that the ingredients or conditions needed for a product creation are within reach and culture entails customers’ awareness of the product’s concept that in turn forms their desire to consume the product (Lechner, 2009). One of such food globalization example is a beefsteak industry. It has been argued that classical steak is a purely American national dish and perhaps the only valuable contribution to world cuisine. Today, the United States is one of the leading exporters of ...

- Identify 4 factors which can affect the sender or receiver's field of experience.

In this class I have learned that eating healthy does not necessarily mean consuming less calories, skipping specific food groups, or skipping whole meals; but rather, eating healthy means consuming all types of foods in a balanced way. What surprised me most was that healthy eating actually means consuming many calories, but they have to be beneficial; they cannot be so called “empty calories.” Foods that are considered high in calories but still healthy are dried fruits and avocados. Cereal is a good breakfast option because of the high percentage of fiber and calcium. While consuming many healthy calories is ...

As a student at BPCC, I am grateful for the opportunity to receive a quality education, and the instruction in the classroom has exceeded all of my expectations so far. However, the cafeteria is not sufficient for the needs of the students, which has created a situation that must be rectified immediately.
