JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT Journal assignment Jwharah Alanazi January 22, 2022 1

JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT Introduction The purpose of this journal assignment was to conduct an interview in order to learn more about the interviewee’s background as well as their favorite dishes. Different cultures have different types of dishes, which have a historical importance to them. These foods are an important aspect of the culture and as a result, they have survived for centuries with the knowledge on their preparation being passed from one generation to another. In order to understand how different cultures prepare their favorite dishes, there is the need to conduct an extensive research in order to obtain this crucial information. This assignment showcased how anthropologists majoring on food science and culture are able to collect crucial information about cultural foods from members of different cultures. Interview My name is Jwharah Alanazi and I interviewed Sean Galusha. These are the questions and ansers from the interview: What’s your full name? Sean Galusha Where are you from? Derry, New Hampshire What’s your favorite dish? Steak and cheese Is it a traditional dish? No Is this a dish usually shared? 2

JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT No What’s the story behind this dish becoming your favorite? If it’s not a traditional dish, do you have a nice memory attached to this dish? During the time I lived with my dad as a kid this would be our meal every Friday. This reminds me of my dad every single time I eat a steak and cheese since it’s connected to him. I also just really enjoy steak and cheese, especially since all parts of the country makes a steak and cheese a different way. Is there anything else that I didn’t ask but you want to share? My favorite version of a steak and cheese from where I live is called a steak bong, essentially a loaded version. Conclusion In this interview, I was able to learn and appreciate the favorite dish of a person from another culture. I learned the various influences behind why people have favorite dishes. I was also able to appreciate the similarities I have with a person of another culture since I also love steak because this is a traditional dish in my culture. 3
