This paper will compare and contrast the different eating habits and examine the cultural dining of West Africa to East Africa. Africans like most of the world outside of American and London aren’t fanatical on fast food even though it is becoming more popular most people eat at home or at relatives or friends home. Even Africans living outside of Africa love to cook rather than dine out in most cases. This report was based on interviews from Africans who grew up in traditional African homes in Africa. All references have been crossed checked and stories verified on how most African dishes are prepared, and their history. More research was done by the books listed, as well as other references such as internet sites. Most of this data has

In Jessica Harris’s “The Culinary Season of my Childhood” she peels away at the layers of how food and a food based atmosphere affected her life in a positive way. Food to her represented an extension of culture along with gatherings of family which built the basis for her cultural identity throughout her life. Harris shares various anecdotes that exemplify how certain memories regarding food as well as the varied characteristics of her cultures’ cuisine left a lasting imprint on how she began to view food and continued to proceeding forward. she stats “My family, like many others long separated from the south, raised me in ways that continued their eating traditions, so now I can head south and sop biscuits in gravy, suck chewy bits of fat from a pigs foot spattered with hot sauce, and yes’m and no’m with the best of ‘em,.” (Pg. 109 Para). Similarly, since I am Jamaican, food remains something that holds high importance in my life due to how my family prepared, flavored, and built a food-based atmosphere. They extended the same traditions from their country of origin within the new society they were thrusted into. The impact of food and how it has factors to comfort, heal, and bring people together holds high relevance in how my self-identity was shaped regarding food.

With the ever emerging civilizations in numerous parts of the world, food aided in linking them together. Food-trade routes acted as inter-boundary communication networks that improved not just commercial exchange but religious and cultural exchange as well. Spice routes that spanned the ancient world resulted in cross cultural fertilization in fields which were very diverse, similar then to the fields of architecture, religion and science. The first geographers began to take interest in people and customs from far away places and put together the first efforts at world maps. But by far the biggest change caused by food trade was as a result of the European need to avoid the Arab spice domination. The result of this was the revelation of a new world, the establishment of first colonial outposts by the European nations and the opening of maritime trade routes

The Middle East is made up of many different countries including Turkey, Syria, Iran (formally known as Persia), Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. For the most part their culture, religion and cuisine is similar due to generations of outside influences. Countries such as Russia, India, America, Spain and even their Middle Eastern neighbours have influenced their cuisine over the years with the introduction of foods such as tomatoes, yoghurt, dates and figs that were introduced to the Persian diet during the Arab invasion, and olive oil (Food in Every Country, 2010).

“Another important trade route known as Incense Route, was controlled by the Arabs, who brought frankincense and myrrh by camel caravan by South Arabia.”(Document D)

For this assignment the cultural manifestations I selected to discuss as being important to our Unit’s success are Wasta, Deference to authority, and Tendency to seek compromise. Of course understanding all of the cultural manifestations are important to our unit’s success, but each region within the Middle East-North African (MENA) region will have their own variations based upon which branch of Islam is dominant in the region, what that region’s experience has been with the U.S. or a Western presence in general and numerous other factors such as the prevailing socio-economic factors of the region.

Ancient Persia, has a lot of history that shaped the beliefs and ways of the Iran culture today. Cyrus the Great was a Persian religious leader who came to power in about 550 B.C. Cyrus the Great became powerful by defeating his in-laws, the Medes, who he then created an alliance with. By creating this alliance he was able to conquer the Greek colonies and the entire Babylonian Empire (Gill). After Cyrus the Great was Darius the Great who continued to rule the Persian Empire.

African plants like finger millet, tamarind, okra, and castor beans made their way to South Asia via two trade routes, one connecting the “Ethiopian Highlands and the Horn of Africa” and the other connecting the East African Highlands to Zanj.” (Carney, 33) The banana, of Southeast Asian origin, arrived in Africa and became a food staple in African farming.

In “Crossroads and Diasporas: A Thousand Years of Islamic Cuisine” by Rachel Laudan, she explains how in Baghdad, Islamic high cuisine was introduced to religious belief with political and dietary theory. Laudan further explains, “High cuisines were prepared by male professionals and served in special spaces with elaborate equipment; they were rich in meat, fat and sweetners, and featured sauces and sweets”, (archive.aramcoworld.com). Yet, most of the population ate “low” cuisines based on local ingredients and prepared by the women of the house. This is a really interesting point because in a way it shows the gender division role in preparing meals.Although Baghdad had been conquered by the Mongols and others, the cuisines continued to expand

Arab is not a race, but is a group of individuals that are united by their culture and history (ADC, 2014). There are many different variations commonly based on a particular individual’s country of origin such as Arab Americans. Other variations are based on their social class, the level of their education, if they live urbanely or rurally, or the time they have spent in the United States (Lipson & Dubble, 2007). Most Arabs also practice Islamic religion and are Muslim. When working with an Arab or Muslim client, nurses should ask what the client wishes to be referred to so as not to offend them in any way (Lipson & Dubble, 2007).
