How cultural practices and economic demographics affect the safety of the food supply for that region/culture.

As mentioned earlier, the lesson and stimulus immediately brought to mind Japanese culture. I have several military friends who have served at both bases, and they always have the BEST cultural anecdotes to tell, not to mention how much they miss the food.

There are several classic Japanese cuisines that we could all be familiar with. The most well-liked foods include Ramen, Tofu, Tempura, Miso soup, and Sushi. Sashimi, Takoyaki, and Udon are a little less well-known. Because sushi is so well-liked both here and in Japan, I want to talk about how it is made. Fish and other seafood preparation come with a number of dangers. Sushi comes in various forms, including Ngiri, Maki, Uramaki, Temaki, and Sashimi. Small, raw fish pieces are wrapped in rice and seaweed and served as sushi. “Specific types of fish that meet the highest standards for fat content, color, and taste are chosen to prepare the sushi rolls.” 2020 (Benihana) Use the safety measures we previously discussed to keep the prep space and food clean and safe during preparation. There is a risk of contamination from bacteria or viruses that cause illness.

The desire for the ingredients used in all Japanese cuisines, which are in high demand, hangs over farmers’ heads. Because some regions of the country are too cold to produce specific crops, the nation dedicates the majority of its valleys to the agricultural side of its demands. The Western-style diet is becoming more popular in Japan as a way to make up for the unavailability of certain products, such as hamburgers and steaks, in some locations.

It conflicts with the ideas of preparation given the potential of cross-contamination in areas like Japan, where the food ingredients (fish) are at high risk of contamination. The techniques we have been studying are crucial at this point. The key to a safe and clean kitchen is washing your hands, wiping down surfaces, and cleaning prep tools. We must enforce what we know and educate people around us to maintain continuity while work is being done if we want to be safe while continuing to prepare these meals in a customary manner. Since many of these meals are staples of American diets, we must recognize their complexity and make the necessary adjustments.

You will be preparing a narrated PowerPoint Presentation and submitting both the narrated presentation and a written “script” of your presentation (what you narrated for each slide). The technique for completing this may have been covered in an earlier course, but if you have questions, please review the video below or the script attached to these assignment instructions.

Your readings and lessons from the last two weeks have focused on the different ways that various cultures prepare food that may have an impact on food safety. For instance, in Japan, fish is often consumed rare, presenting different food safety issues than if the fish was consumed after cooking to a safe temperature. Additionally, the demographics of a region can affect food safety. There are many areas of the world that do not have access to a safe water supply or have access to refrigeration in order to safely preserve their raw meats.

The focus of your presentation should be on ONE specific Region/Culture.  The content of your presentation should explain, in general, how cultural practices and economic demographics affect the safety of the food supply for that region/culture. Be sure to use specific examples to illustrate the points you are making. Explain how these cultural or demographic factors could expand beyond that one region and affect the global food supply (think cross-border trading, traveling, or food manufacturing). You may wish to use examples from your own culture to explain your ideas and conclusions; feel free to include photos of your own cultural food preparation practices if it enhances your presentation.

Five elements to include: Cultural practices pertaining to cuisine, the economic situation of the region, the infrastructure of the region,  demographics of the region, and global implications from the food supply in that region.

You will be graded on the content of your presentation along with your actual presentation skills, i.e., speaking clearly and slowly,  making sure that the words and illustrations on your slides enhance what you are explaining verbally (make sure you do not include too many words on your slides or simply read from your slides). A presentation should be a combination of visuals and narration, working together to present your ideas.

Be sure to submit both the narrated PowerPoint Presentation along with your script in a Word document.
